  • Publication number: 20260080315
    Abstract: A system and method for image-based monitoring of an object inserted into a patient is disclosed. A model can be trained for an object configured to be inserted into a patient as part of a medical procedure, the trained model being generated from one or more machine learning algorithms that are trained on annotated images of the object with spatial information of the object. An imaging computer system can receive one or more images of the object inserted within the patient captured by an imaging device positioned external to the patient. The imaging computer system can further determine, based on applying the trained model to the one or more images of the object, current spatial information of the object within the patient. A display can output the one or more images and the current spatial information of the object.

  • Publication number: 20240148367
    Abstract: The systems and methods, in one embodiment, include a convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained by a modified version of the CycleGAN process. The CNN filters ultrasound images generated by a handheld ultrasound device to generate images that are perceptually similar to images generated by a cart-based ultrasound device in terms of quality. The resulting images look sharper and less noisy compared to the original inputs. The invention is a tool within the actions menu of a mobile app. When the tool is open, users can turn filtering on and off. The users will turn filtering on to reduce noise so they can reach the right scanning spot faster. After which because of body habitus, still there might be some noise that this tool can clean up. The user can then decide to have the filtering on or off during the diagnostic process.

  • Patent number: 11839514
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to displaying indications of anatomical regions that have been imaged and/or that should be imaged next. In some embodiments, ultrasound data collected from a subject by an ultrasound device may be received, an automatic determination may be made that the ultrasound data was collected from a particular anatomical location, and an indication of the anatomical location may be displayed. In some embodiments, a plurality of anatomical locations may be determined for imaging, an anatomical location from among the plurality of anatomical locations may be automatically selected, and an indication of the anatomical location may be displayed. Displaying an indication of an anatomical location may include displaying or modifying a marker on a frame of a video of the subject such that the marker appears in the frame of the video to be located at the anatomical location on the subject.

  • Patent number: 11687834
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for displaying augmented image data for invasive medical devices. A current orientation and a current position of the invasive medical device within a patient can be determined by applying a trained model of the invasive medical device to unannotated images of the invasive medical device as captured by an imaging device. The images of the invasive medical device can be displayed and overlaid with the current orientation and current position of the invasive medical device. User input can be received to initialize tracking of an orientation and a position of the invasive medical device as the invasive medical device is moved within the patient.
