  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOTION COMPENSATION IN ULTRASONIC RESPIRATION MONITORING
    Publication number: 20220045451
    Abstract: Described herein are example methods, devices and systems for motion compensation in ultrasonic respiration monitoring. A respiration detection system includes a first probe placed on a front side of a patient's body and a second probe placed on a dorsal side of the body. The first probe includes an ultrasound transducer, a first accelerometer unit and a magnetic field sensor unit, and the second probe includes a second accelerometer unit and magnetic field sensor unit. Due to respiration of the patient, the abdominal region of the body moves, creating measurement errors when an ultrasound beam is directed towards an internal structure (internal tissue region) inside the patient's body. Correction for such measurement errors uses input data from the first and second accelerometer units and the magnetic field sensor unit.
