Abstract: In some embodiments, ultrasound receive beamforming yields beamformed samples, based upon which spatially intermediate pixels (232, 242, 244) are dynamically reconstructed. The samples have been correspondingly derived from acquisition through respectively different acoustic windows (218, 220). The reconstructing is further based on temporal weighting of the samples. In some embodiments, the sampling is via synchronized ultrasound phased-array data acquisition from a pair of side-by-side, spaced apart (211) acoustic windows respectively facing opposite sides of a central region (244) to be imaged. In particular, the pair is used interleavingly to dynamically scan jointly in a single lateral direction in imaging the region. The acquisition in the scan is, along a synchronization line (222) extending laterally across the region, monotonically progressive in that direction. Rotational scans respectively from the window pair are synchronizable into a composite scan of a moving object.

Abstract: A controller and method for imaging an area of interest of a region within an object using a transoesophageal echo (TEE) probe of a TEE ultrasound acquisition system are 5 provided. The controller includes a memory that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller to perform a process including causing a transthoracic echo (TTE) probe of a TTE ultrasound acquisition system to emit an ultrasound beam to a selected area of interest of a region within the object; switching the TEE probe to a listening mode, enabling the 10 TEE probe detect and receive the ultrasound beam emitted by the TTE probe; and causing a robot to steer the TEE probe to an imaging location in the object using the detected TTE ultrasound beam. The TEE probe shows the area of interest using ultrasound images acquired from the imaging location.

Abstract: Depiction, within a single imaging modality, of an intervention device and body tissue surrounding the device, is improved by interrogating a subject that includes the intervention device and the tissue. An image is created using, for a parameter, a value, of the parameter (160), better suited to one or the other of a device region depicting the intervention device and a tissue region depicting the tissue. The value is used to yield respectively either a first image (152) or a second image (154). Respective presets may correspondingly have different values for the parameter. From jointly the first image and the second image which are both of the single modality, a combination is formed that is an image of the intervention device depicted as surrounded by the tissue. The combinations may be formed dynamically and ongoingly.

Abstract: An acoustically registerable probe includes a transducer (212) to generate acoustic pulses, and a beamformer (222) coupled to the transducer to adjust a field of view of the acoustic pulses. The transducer is configured to iteratively send and receive acoustic energy with a decremented field of view angles to identify a position of the transducer (216) to other transducers and to reveal positions of the other transducers to the transducer through a medium carrying the acoustic pulses to register the transducer to the other transducers coupled to the medium.

Abstract: A method of inspecting a component using an eddy current array probe (ECAP) is provided. The method includes scanning a surface of the component with the ECAP, collecting, with the ECAP, a plurality of partial defect responses, transferring the plurality of partial defect responses to a processor, modeling the plurality of partial defect responses as mathematical functions based on at least one of a configuration of elements of the ECAP and a resolution of the elements, and producing a single maximum defect response from the plurality of partial defect responses.

Abstract: A method for testing a component using an eddy current array probe is provided. The method includes calibrating the eddy current array probe, collecting data from the eddy current array probe for analysis, and processing the collected data to at least one of compensate for response variations due to a detected orientation of a detected imperfection and to facilitate minimizing noise.
