  • Patent number: 11911220
    Abstract: A system includes a number of transducers configured to transmit ultrasound signals directed to a target blood vessel and receive echo information associated with the transmitted ultrasound signals. The system also includes a processing device configured to process the echo information, generate ultrasound images of the blood vessel at a number of locations and generate an estimated diameter of the blood vessel at the locations. The processing device is also configured to output image information associated with the blood vessel and output a maximum estimated diameter of the blood vessel or the estimated diameters at the number of locations based on the image information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11647990
    Abstract: A system may include an ultrasound probe and a controller unit configured to obtain a baseline ultrasound image of a patient's breast area using the ultrasound probe and to obtain a follow-up ultrasound image of the patient's breast area using the ultrasound probe. The controller unit may further be configured to use one or more machine learning models to compare the baseline ultrasound image with the follow-up ultrasound image; detect a change in a morphology or integrity of the patient's breast area based on the comparison of the baseline ultrasound image with the follow-up ultrasound image; and generate a recommendation for a medical intervention based on the detected change.

  • Publication number: 20210312652
    Abstract: A system may include an ultrasound probe and a controller unit configured to aim the ultrasound probe to transabdominally image a patient's prostate and obtain a transabdominal image of the patient's prostate using the aimed ultrasound probe. The controller unit may be further configured to perform a segmentation process on the obtained transabdominal image of the patient's prostate using a trained machine learning model to identify a boundary of the prostate in the transabdominal image of the patient's prostate.
