Abstract: By identifying locations of contrast agent response, an intensity-based metric of contrast agent signal is used to control a duration of microbubble destruction with a medical ultrasound scanner. Feedback from motion of the transducer may be used to indicate when a user perceives enough destruction. A combination of both an intensity-based metric and transducer motion may be used to control the duration of bursting.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe and corresponding method of obtaining motion related data for the ultrasound probe. The probe including a housing, a transducer located inside said housing having transducer elements in a predetermined configuration that generates ultrasound, transmits the generated ultrasound towards an object, and receives echoes that have been reflected from the object, a motion sensing device having a fixed position with respect to said housing and including a sensor configured to generate a movement signal indicative of at least one type of movement of the ultrasound probe, and processing circuitry configured to generate images from the echoes received by the transducer and to correct the generated images by image correlation based on the generated movement signal.

Abstract: A method and system of obtaining information by interrogating an information mark attached to a device implanted in a body of a patient by transmitting a non-ionizing pulse through the body of the patient, receiving, from the information mark, a response to the transmitted non-ionizing pulse, the response including encoded information, and extracting the encoded information from the response.
