  • Patent number: 11950960
    Abstract: Ultrasound image devices, systems, and methods are provided. An ultrasound imaging system, comprising an array of acoustic elements configured to transmit ultrasound energy into an anatomy and to receive ultrasound echoes associated with the anatomy; and a processor circuit in communication with the array of acoustic elements and configured to receive, from the array, ultrasound channel data corresponding to the received ultrasound echoes; normalize the ultrasound channel data by applying a first scaling function to the ultrasound channel data; generate beamformed data by applying a predictive network to the normalized ultrasound channel data; de-normalize the beamformed data by applying a second scaling function to the beamformed data; generate an image of the anatomy from the beamformed data; and output, to a display in communication with the processor circuit, the image of the anatomy.

  • Publication number: 20230329674
    Abstract: An ultrasound system includes a processor and an ultrasound transducer array. The processor receives a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound (1320) image from the transducer array. The first and second ultrasound images may be perpendicular to one another. The processor generates a score associated with the first ultrasound image and compares the score to a threshold score. Based on the score not satisfying the threshold score, the processor then determines a new imaging plane and directs the transducer array to obtain a third ultrasound image (1410) according to the new imaging plane. The third ultrasound image may also be perpendicular to the second ultrasound image. The processor circuit then displays the third ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image. The processor circuit also identifies an angle corresponding to the new imaging plane and displays an indicator (1342) overlaid over the second ultrasound image identifying the new imaging plane of the third ultrasound image.
