  • Patent number: 10515452
    Abstract: A medical imaging system configured to receive first image information corresponding with one or more images acquired at a first time, the one or more images including a lesion; receive second image information corresponding with one or more images of the lesion acquired at another time; render volumes of the lesion for each image; and overlays the two volumes. Other factors and/or indicators, such as vascularization indicators, may be calculated and compared between the first image information and second image information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8897517
    Abstract: A data acquisition method performed by one or more controllers includes receiving information related to a sequence of a plurality of images. The method further includes receiving, from an ultrasonic probe, image information corresponding to a current image of the plurality of images in the sequence. The method still further includes determining whether a caliper input has been received, and when it is determined that a caliper input has been received: obtaining coordinate information corresponding to one or more locations in the current image, selecting an other image which is different from, and associated with, the current image, and obtaining one or more coordinates corresponding to one or more locations in the other image. The method further includes saving a report including the image information and the coordinate information corresponding to each image of the plurality of images of the sequence.

  • Publication number: 20110268336
    Abstract: A medical imaging system and method, the system including at least one controller which is configured to receive or receives first image information corresponding with one or more images acquired at a first time; receives second image information corresponding with one or more images acquired at another time; determines whether first coordinate information corresponding to one or more locations in the first image information has changed relative to second coordinate information corresponding to one or more locations in the second image information; and highlights the first image information based upon the result of the determination.

  • Publication number: 20100324420
    Abstract: A method and system of imaging is provided. The system can include an imaging system (10) having at least one probe (120) for transmitting imaging energy into a region (150) of a body (50) and receiving response energy; a display device (170); and a processor (100) operably coupled to the at least one probe and the display device. The processor can generate a first image based on the response energy. The processor can present the first image on the display device. The processor can present on the display device a second image of the same plane or volume as the first image. The first image is different from the second image. The processor can retrieve a designation of a region of interest from a clinician that is associated with one of the first and second images. The processor can compare the first image with the second image for graphical differences, and the processor can present the region of interest on the other of the second image based at least in part on the graphical differences.
