Patent number: 11928859Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to techniques for guiding an operator to use an ultrasound device. Thereby, operators with little or no experience operating ultrasound devices may capture medically relevant ultrasound images and/or interpret the contents of the obtained ultrasound images. For example, some of the techniques disclosed herein may be used to identify a particular anatomical view of a subject to image with an ultrasound device, guide an operator of the ultrasound device to capture an ultrasound image of the subject that contains the particular anatomical view, and/or analyze the captured ultrasound image to identify medical information about the subject.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: BFLY OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Daniel Nouri, Alex Rothberg, Matthew de Jonge, Jimmy Jia, Jonathan M. Rothberg, Michal Sofka, David Elgena, Mark Michalski, Tomer Gafner, Abraham Neben

Publication number: 20240062353Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to techniques for calculating, during imaging, a quality of a sequence of images collected during the imaging. Calculating the quality of the sequence of images may include calculating a probability that a medical professional would use a given image for clinical evaluation and a confidence that an automated analysis segmentation performed on the given image is correct. Techniques described herein also include receiving a trigger to perform an automatic measurement on a sequence of images, calculating a quality of the sequence of images, determining whether the quality of the sequence of images exceeds a threshold quality, and performing the automatic measurement on the sequence of images based on determining that the quality of the sequence of images exceeds the threshold quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: BFLY OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Alex Rothberg, Igor Lovchinsky, Jimmy Jia, Tomer Gafner, Matthew de Jonge, Jonathan M.

Publication number: 20220386990Abstract: A method includes: determining, by a host device, a predetermined path including a first tilt from which a target anatomical view is available and a second tilt from which the target anatomical view is not available, where the predetermined path has a pivot of fewer than 180 degrees about an anatomical area; instructing, by the host device, an operator to pivot an ultrasound device along the predetermined path by displaying a display on the host device; receiving a first ultrasound image depicting the target anatomical view and a second ultrasound image not depicting the target anatomical view based on ultrasound data collected by the ultrasound device while pivoting along the predetermined path; and identifying that the first ultrasound image depicts the target anatomical view. The predetermined path is determined prior to collecting the first ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: BFLY OPERATIONS, INC.Inventor: Alex Rothberg
