  • Adaptive clutter filtering in acoustic radiation force-based ultrasound imaging
    Patent number: 11464495
    Abstract: For clutter reduction in ultrasound elasticity imaging, the contribution of clutter to different frequency components (e.g., the transmit fundamental and the propagation generated second harmonic) is different. As a result, a difference in displacements determined at the different frequency bands is used to reduce clutter contribution to displacements used for elasticity imaging.

  • Acquisition control for mixed mode ultrasound imaging
    Publication number: 20160310110
    Abstract: For mixed mode imaging, the ultrasound scanner distinguishes between times when different modes of imaging are appropriate based on motion or transducer usage. Any switching between modes, such as between B-mode and mixed mode imaging, occurs automatically based on the detection by the ultrasound scanner of motion, alleviating the need for sonographer manual selection.
