  • 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.

  • 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.
