  • Patent number: 11646107
    Abstract: A method and a system for generating medical reports based on medical images are provided. The method and system are characterized by carrying out an imaging examination on a target object; visualizing the image or the sequence of images acquired during the execution of the imaging examination; carrying out a report text generation step in parallel with the visualized image or sequence of images by using a speech recognition process; and saving the report text by associating univocally the report text to the visualized image or to the sequence of images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2023
    Assignee: Esaote S.p.A.
    Inventors: Leonardo Forzoni, Lorenzo Bessi

  • Patent number: 10043272
    Abstract: A method of fusing ultrasound images with pre-acquired images includes acquiring a first 3D ultrasound image in real-time; identifying at least one known reference pattern or object within a pre-acquired 3D image and the 3D ultrasound image; registering the real-time 3D ultrasound image with the pre-acquired 3D image by using the reference pattern or object; fusing the 3D ultrasound images of a sequence of real-time 3D ultrasound images; with the pre-acquired 3D image using data of the co-registration; and displaying fusion tomographic images, each including the corresponding real-time ultrasound image and the pre-acquired image. The registration between real-time 3D ultrasound images and the pre-acquired 3D image is performed continuously in the background by continuing to acquire the real-time 3D ultrasound images and to register them with the pre-acquired 3D images using the reference pattern or patterns or the object or objects.

  • Patent number: 6958577
    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging the inner part of a body, particularly for diagnostic imaging thereof, including at least means for imaging and displaying images according to at least one type of beams, waves or signals transmitted toward a body or a part thereof to be examined, the said means being means for generating at least one type of waves or beams which are transmitted toward the body or the part thereof to be internally imaged and means for receiving said type of waves or beams transmitted by the body under examination or by the part thereof or deriving from the excitation of said part or body under examination, from the reflection and/or transmission and/or modification of waves, of the beams transmitted against said body under examination or the part thereof.
