  • Patent number: 12685511
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ultrasound devices with simultaneous arrays are disclosed. These systems and methods include an ultrasound having simultaneous arrays that can be used during an examination of an anatomy. The simultaneous arrays include at least a first array and a second array, where the first array transmits first ultrasound signals focused at a first depth and the second array transmits second ultrasound signals focused at a second depth that differs from the first depth. A first image is generated based on reflected signals of the first ultrasound signals from the anatomy and a second image is generated based on reflected signals of the second ultrasound signals from the anatomy. The first image can be first displayed, and the system can automatically replace the first image with the second image when an interventional instrument, shown in the first image, reaches a threshold depth of a region of interest.

  • Publication number: 20260165684
    Abstract: Ultrasound systems, ultrasound scanners, and methods for determining venous congestion using ultrasound are disclosed. In some embodiments, the ultrasound machine includes a display device configured to display a user interface for the ultrasound machine and a processor. The processor is configured to cause the display device to display an ultrasound image that includes a vein, cause the display device to display a Doppler waveform for the vein, determine a vein type for the vein, determine, based on the vein type, classification waveforms, and cause the user interface to display the classification waveforms.
