  • Identification of organic specimen model data region with ultrasound propagation region
    Patent number: 11129593
    Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium The system includes a processor configured to receive ultrasound data from an ultrasound reflected wave reflected from specimen features in an organic specimen resultant from an ultrasound incident wave transmitted into the organic specimen; to identify each region having data obtained from anatomic model data related to the organic specimen that satisfies selection criteria in comparison to the received ultrasound data; and to repeat consecutively, if the number of identified regions is not equal to one and the number of times the selection criteria are adjusted is less than a specified maximum number of adjustments, removal of identified status from each identified region, adjustment of the selection criteria in accordance with adjustment rules and identification of each region having data obtained from anatomic model data that satisfies the adjusted selection criteria in comparison to the received ultrasound data.

  • Method and system for organic specimen feature identification in ultrasound image
    Patent number: 9357979
    Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium. The method includes transmitting one or more reference ultrasound incident waves into an organic specimen and receiving thereby reference ultrasound data from resultant ultrasound reflected waves from specimen features in the organic specimen, identifying a reference propagation region in the organic specimen in which at least one of the one or more reference ultrasound incident waves was transmitted into the organic specimen and identifying a corresponding reference model image region in anatomic model data, and transmitting at least one additional ultrasound incident wave into the organic specimen and receiving thereby additional ultrasound data from resultant ultrasound reflected waves from one or more specimen features.
