Abstract: A device for electrically stimulating, and measuring electrical responses of, an internal organ of a patient while obtaining real time images of the internal organ, the device having an ultrasound probe; one or more electrodes connected to the ultrasound probe for electrically stimulating the organ and measuring responses from the organ, wherein the probe is placed at a location on the patient's body proximate the internal organ for obtaining the real time images of the organ; and a stimulator connected to the one or more electrodes for providing electric current of a predefined amplitude for stimulating the internal organ.

Abstract: Systems and methods for ultrasound imaging include obtaining RF data using an ultrasound probe and processing the RF data in-parallel to generate B-mode data and echo intensity data during ultrasound examination of a patient. The RF data is analyzed in real-time to provide a user with live ultrasound image and echogenicity analytics. Based on the echogenicity analytics, the user may reposition the ultrasonic probe to adjust and select an optimal probe angle to ensure reproducible results. Providing live RF data allows the user to assess the health of nerves and muscles in real-time and make dynamic decisions on further exams to perform during the same office visit.
