Publication number: 20210282752Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system includes an ultrasound transducer array having a plurality of transducer element and a catheter having one or more transmission lines programmably connected to the plurality of transducer elements. The programmable connection between the transmission lines and the plurality of transducer elements defines a synthetic aperture size. The ultrasound imaging system acquires images using an initial synthetic aperture size, detects a relative motion of a target of interest in the acquired images, and adjusts the synthetic aperture size based on the detected relative motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventor: Joseph A. Jamello

Patent number: 10653393Abstract: Methods and systems for acquiring a plurality of data vectors at a first frequency and a plurality of data vectors at a second frequency, where the first frequency is greater than the second frequency. The plurality of first frequency data vectors can be formed into a first set of data vectors and the plurality of second frequency data vectors can be formed into a second set of data vectors. A first filter can be applied to the first set of data vectors to form a first modified data set and a second filter can be applied to the second set of data vectors to form a second modified data set. Based on the first and second modified data sets, a frequency response of an item in the imaging view can be determined. Using the determined frequency response of the item, an image is created on a display.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: ACIST MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Joseph A. Jamello, Kendall R. Waters

Patent number: 10387013Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a zoom operation based on a single motion input. A user interface can be adapted to display an image, detect a single motion input and contemporaneously control a zoom operation on the image. Zoom operations can include a zoom magnitude, direction, and distance. Single motion inputs can include, for example, a swipe of a finger on a touchscreen or a click and drag operation performed on a mouse.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2014Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: ACIST MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: Joseph A. Jamello

Patent number: 10275881Abstract: Image segmentation can include a pre-initialization image analysis of image data using an image analysis algorithm to generate a modified image, and the modified image can be presented on a display. An initialization can be performed on the modified image that includes user input on the modified image. The modified image can be segmented using a segmentation algorithm that evaluates the user input. Upon evaluating the user input, the segmentation algorithm can cause a segmented image to be produced which can be presented on the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignees: VAL-CHUM, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, ACIST MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Marie-Hélène Roy Cardinal, François Destrempes, Joseph A. Jamello, Guy Cloutier, Kendall R. Waters, Thomas C. Moore

Patent number: 9526473Abstract: An intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging system and catheter with an intuitive interface for rapid operator interaction using acquired medical images. In an embodiment, an IVUS imaging system and catheter are used to acquire a sequence of a specific area of interest in the human anatomy, for example, tomographic images of a coronary artery. The IVUS imaging system displays at least one tomographic image of the area of interest. The IVUS imaging system generates and displays at least one longitudinal image, wherein the longitudinal image represents a cut-plane of the sequence of tomographic images. The IVUS imaging system further includes a touch screen, wherein the system recognizes touch movements to facilitate searching the sequence of images. Touch movements in a longitudinal direction may pan the longitudinal image in the longitudinal direction. Touch movements in the transverse direction may rotate the cut-plane of the longitudinal image.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: ACIST Medical Systems, Inc.Inventor: Joseph A.
