Publication number: 20210393242Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided in which noise or artifacts generated by motion of a probe are attenuated in acquired physiological data, such as auscultation or ultrasound data. One such method includes acquiring physiological data of a patient by a handheld device. Motion of the handheld device is sensed, and a determination is made as to whether the sensed motion of the handheld device exceeds a motion threshold. The method further includes generating conditioned physiological data of the patient by attenuating a portion of the acquired physiological data in response to determining that the sensed motion of the handheld device exceeds the motion threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Ramachandra Pailoor, Eung-Hun Kim, Qianying Miao, Nidhi Jaiswal, Nikolaos Pagoulatos

Patent number: 8137278Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method which makes a phased array look like a curved array for purposes of performing spatial compounding calculations. In one embodiment, the phased array is treated as though it were a curved array by creating both a virtual apex and a virtual radius of curvature. Based on this transformation, standard spatial-compounding resampling tables can be used just as they are with curved arrays. In one embodiment, after the data is compounded to form the target image, certain data is removed prior to the actual display. This removed data represents data generated by virtual rays the prior to the physical skin line of the phased array.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Sonosite, Inc.Inventors: Andrew K.
