J. Michael Green has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Ultrasound method and system for imaging
    Patent number: 5846202
    Abstract: Color Doppler data is acquired only over a portion of the cardiac cycle, such as during diastole in order to increase the sensitivity of detection. Ultrasound system parameters such as clutter filter coefficience, temporal and spatial filter coefficients and demodulation frequencies may be altered only for a portion of the cardiac cycle to increase detection sensitivity, to improve myocardial border estimation and to avoid the loss of color Doppler image at end-diastole.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 1997
    Date of Patent: December 8, 1998
    Assignee: Acuson Corporation
    Inventors: Bhaskar Ramamurthy, J. Michael Green
