  • Publication number: 20240122579
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated ultrasound credentialing are described. In some embodiments, a credentialing system for issuing a sonographer credential to a sonography candidate includes an ultrasound probe coupled to a computing device and configured to generate ultrasound data. The computing device is configured to generate, based on the ultrasound data and as part of an automated review, an ultrasound examination score. The computing device is configured to transfer, based on the ultrasound examination score, the sonography candidate from the automated review to a manual review by a reviewer.

  • Publication number: 20230260107
    Abstract: Examples herein include methods, systems, and computer program products for utilizing neural networks in ultrasound systems. The methods include processor(s) of a computing device identifying a neural network for implementation on the computing device to generate, based on ultrasound data, inferences and confidence levels for the inferences, the computing device being communicatively coupled via a computing network to an ultrasound machine configured to generate the ultrasound data. The processor(s) implements the neural network on the computing device, including configuring the neural network to generate an inference and a confidence level for at least one image of the images. The processor(s) obtains the ultrasound data including images from the ultrasound machine. The processor(s) determines, for the at least one image, an accuracy of the inference and the confidence level. The processor(s) automatically reconfigures the neural network to increase the accuracy based on the determining the accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10278673
    Abstract: A portable ultrasound system having dedicated power source devices is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a portable ultrasound system can include transducer electronics and a base unit having base-unit electronics configured to receive user input and to operate the transducer electronics to perform ultrasound scanning based on the user input. The portable ultrasound system further includes a first power source device configured to power the transducer electronics and a second power source device configured to power the base-unit electronics without powering the transducer electronics.
