  • Publication number: 20240389976
    Abstract: Ultrasound systems and devices are provided that facilitate positioning and orientation of an ultrasound beam relative to the vasculature of the patient for the detection of Doppler signals from vessels and the determination of a hemodynamic measure. In some example embodiments, a support structure, such as a patch, is provided that supports one or more ultrasound transducers relative to a coupling component, the support structure being removably attachable to a skin surface of a subject. Control and processing circuitry is connectable to the one or more ultrasound transducers to generate ultrasound beams, receive ultrasound signals, and process the received ultrasound signals to provide a Doppler signal and determine an associated hemodynamic measure. In some example implementations, the example embodiments disclosed herein may be employed to determine a hemodynamic measure associated with blood flow with major and/or minor vessels of the pedal arch, such as a pedal acceleration time.

  • Publication number: 20240329241
    Abstract: Encoded transmit signals are provided to an ultrasound array such diverging ultrasound waves are sequentially transmitted. Each diverging ultrasound wave is generated by a respective set of encoded transmit signals, where each set of encoded transmit signals is encoded by a respective row of an N×N invertible orthogonal matrix. Only a selected subset of M rows, with N<M, is employed to encode the transmit signals. Sets of receive signals detected in response to the transmitted diverging ultrasound waves are decoded via a transposed matrix generated based on the invertible orthogonal matrix, with each set of decoded receive signals being associated with insonification via a subset of the ultrasound array elements in the fixed aperture. Synthetic aperture beamforming is performed on the decoded receive signals to generate an ultrasound image.

  • Publication number: 20240269488
    Abstract: Systems and devices are provided for generating focused ultrasound pulses based on a transducer assembly having a piezoelectric layer coupled to an acoustic lens. In some example embodiments, the piezoelectric layer is a composite piezoelectric material having an acoustic impedance configured to match the acoustic impedance of the acoustic lens. The acoustic lens may be formed from aluminum, or an alloy thereof, and may have a distal surface having a non-spherical profile for producing a focal region that is smaller than an equivalent spherical lens. The acoustic lens may have an f-number less than unity. In some embodiments, the acoustic lens is coated with a polymer acoustic impedance matching layer that is compatible with deposition via chemical vapor deposition, such as a p-xylylene based polymer. In some embodiments, the acoustic lens is formed from aluminum or an alloy thereof, and the polymer acoustic impedance matching layer is a Parylene layer.

  • Publication number: 20240206844
    Abstract: An ultrasound patch includes one or more transmit and receive piezoelectric transducer elements. In some embodiments, the transducer elements are positioned on a ramp on a patient pad of the patch that is configured to fit within an anatomic space between the trachea and the sternocleidomastoid muscle to orient the transducer elements toward a carotid artery. In some embodiments, a flexible phased array transducer includes a number of pillar piezoelectric elements joined by a flexible adhesive with metal electrodes deposited thereon. The phased array transducer is mounted to a flexible circuit board that allows the transducer to bend and conform to a subject's anatomy.
