  • Publication number: 20200245976
    Abstract: In a method, system and computer program product for retrospective image clip saving for ultrasound imagery, the method includes first repeatedly acquiring different ultrasound image clips of a single view of a target feature through an ultrasound imaging probe of an ultrasound imaging system. Thereafter, each of the acquired different ultrasound image clips may be stored in a buffer of the ultrasound imaging system and a value assigned to each of the image clips according to a measured characteristic. A save-best-clip mode of the ultrasound imaging system is then activated and, in response to the activation, each of the acquired different ultrasound image clips are compared in the buffer based upon respective measured characteristics, at least one of the clips demonstrating an optimal value for the measured characteristic is identified and the identified clip or clips saved in memory of the ultrasound imaging system in correspondence with the single view.

  • Publication number: 20200245970
    Abstract: A method for prescriptively guiding an operator of an ultrasound imaging probe includes acquiring a sequence of image clips of a target organ utilizing an ultrasound imaging probe, determining a particular view of the target organ expressed by the acquired image clips and assessing a quality of each of the acquired image clips in respect to the particular view. On condition that the assessed quality falls below a pre-determined satisfactory quality for the particular view, a prescriptive movement of the probe is computed that has been pre-determined to produce quality improvement of a subsequently acquired image clip of the target organ for the particular view. Then, responsive to determining that the prescriptive movement has been computed a threshold number of times in connection with the sequence, the prescriptive movement is displayed concurrently with a display of subsequently acquired image clips of the target organ.

    Abstract: A display device including a display panel, a shaft, a correcting sensor and a driving module is provided. The display panel has a display surface. The shaft has an axial end and a correcting end opposite the axial end. The correcting sensor is disposed on the correcting end. When the shaft is rotated relative to the axial end, the correcting sensor is moved to a second position from a first position and faces the display surface at the second position. The driving module is configured to translate the shaft when the correcting sensor is at the second position, such that the correcting sensor can be moved to a detecting position from the second position, wherein the distance of the second position relative to the display surface is greater than the distance of the detecting position relative to the display surface.

  • Publication number: 20200240397
    Abstract: An inertial rotation device includes: a central member with an axial direction, a first engaging portion on the peripheral surface of the central member, an inertia member with a mounting hole, and a second engaging portion on the wall of the mounting hole. The inertia member is mounted around the central member and can be displaced between an engaging position and a released position along the axial direction of the central member. The inertia member can rotate together with the central member when at the engaging position, where the two engaging portions are engaged with each other, and cannot rotate together with the central member when at the released position, where the two engaging portions are disengaged from each other. The magnitude of the torque of the inertial rotation device can be changed by switching the inertia member to the engaging position or the released position.

  • Patent number: 10726548
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for video clip quality determination in medical device imaging and diagnosis. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for video clip quality determination in medical imaging includes first retrieving from a data store into memory of a host computer, video clip imagery of a target organ. Then, a quality value assigned to the video clip imagery may be identified in connection with the retrieved video clip imagery. A measurement of the target organ is computed based upon the retrieved video clip imagery. Finally, a confidence in respect to the computed measurement is determined based upon the identified quality value and the confidence determination displayed in a user interface provided by the host computer.
