Abstract: An ultrasound blood vessel imaging system can include a 3D ultrasound probe operable to capture 3D volume data of tissue containing one or more blood vessels. A processor can be in communication with the 3D ultrasound probe and configured to receive the data and convert the data to a volume of ultrasound images. The processor can process the ultrasound images using an image segmentation method to identify a blood vessel lumen independent of surrounding tissue and generate a segmented vessel. The processor can also generate a constructed view of the blood vessel by assembling the segmented vessel and display the constructed view on an electronic display.

Abstract: An ultrasound-detectable polymeric device that offers superior visibility of the body of the device and decreased ultrasound angle dependence through the use of microcavities and methods of manufacturing thereof is disclosed. These microcavities enable superior ultrasound visualization due to diffuse reflection of sound waves when compared to solid polymeric objects, ensuring that a strong signal is received at the source of the ultrasound transducer and providing strong image contrast throughout the entire cross-section of the implant that is also robust to variable angles of insonation.

Abstract: An ultrasound-detectable marker, ultrasound system, and methods for monitoring vascular flow and patency is disclosed. The ultrasound-detectable marker comprises one or more resorbable polymers, one or more non-resorbable polymers, one or more non-polymeric materials, or any combinations thereof. The ultrasound-detectable marker is adapted for placement underneath, adjacent to, or above one or more vessels at a postoperative site, such as a vascular anastomosis site. Further, the ultrasound imaging system includes certain user guiding software and/or health analysis software for use with the ultrasound-detectable marker.

Abstract: A cycling control system designed to facilitate the operation of all cycle functions with a single hand. The controls are intended to allow individuals with unilateral weakness to steer, shift gears, and brake on any bicycle or tricycle. The system includes a handlebar that either replaces or attaches to existing handlebars. The handlebar grip is located adjacent to the brake and gear controls such that the user may operate all functions without ever having to remove his or her hand from the controls.
