Abstract: A virtual interactive ultrasound training system provides training of medical personnel in the practical skills of performing ultrasound scans, including recognizing specific anatomies and pathologies. The training system can be utilized in an asynchronous mode in which the system is used locally by a learner for personal training. The system can also be used in a synchronous mode in which multiple systems are connected over a network, allowing multiple user located remotely from each other and/or from a training instructor to train under the supervision of the instructor.

Abstract: An untethered ultrasound imaging system having selectable command control and wireless component connection and image transmission. Ultrasound data collected by the ultrasound system can be augmented with additional sensor data.

Abstract: Ultrasound imaging systems and methods are described that include a cableless front end having a UltraWideBand transceiver and a beamformer that transmit ultrasound data to a back end physically separated from the front end, with the back end having a UltraWideBand transceiver for receiving ultrasound data from the front end UltraWideBand transceiver via a peer-to-peer communication protocol. The back end unit can also receive and transmit commands to and from the front end unit to select an image mode and has a signal processor and scan converter that can convert ultrasound data into image data for display. An input device in the front end allows the operator to selectively display ultrasound data or patient data on an auxiliary worn display or the nearest local display.

Abstract: A freehand 3-D imaging system includes an integrated sensor configuration that provides position and orientation of each 2D imaging plane used for 3-D reconstruction without the need for external references. The position sensors communicate with the imaging system using either wired and wireless means. At least one translational and one angular sensor or three translational sensors acquire data utilized to compute position tags associated with 2D ultrasound image scan frames. The sensors can be built into the ultrasound transducer or can be reversibly connected and therefore retrofitted to existing imaging probes for freehand 3D imaging.

Abstract: A digital sweep generator includes a counter which receives a clock signal to generate a frequency output and an accumulator which sums the outputs of the counter at each clock. The value held by the accumulator is a quadratic function of time which is used as a phase representation to address a wave generator PROM. The PROM may be selectively coupled to different ranges of accumulator output to set the sweep rate.

Abstract: Ultrasonic examination for carcinoma of the breast is accomplished rapidly and reliably by the method and apparatus disclosed herein. The apparatus is comprised of a compartment in which water is drawn upward, by suction, over the breast being examined, and in which an ultrasonic transducer revolves around the breast to obtain complete 360.degree. scans. The patient can be seated in a comfortable position during the examination, and the total time required for examination in an asymptomatic case is estimated to be less than five minutes. The suction holds the breast in place, and there is no need for a membrane to cover the breast, thus improving the accuracy of the test. Various cross-sectional images of the breast may be generated by a conventional two-dimensional B-mode scanning technique.
