  • Publication number: 20240119705
    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system may acquire an image of a liver. The liver may be segmented from the image. Parameters, such as image homogeneity map, intensity probability chart, and/or speckle size diagram, may be extracted from the liver portion of the image. The parameters may be used to determine whether fatty liver deposits are diffuse or inhomogeneous. In some examples, inhomogeneous regions may be excluded from the calculation of liver fat quantification measurements. In some examples, the inhomogeneous regions may be displayed so that a user may select a region of interest that excludes the inhomogeneous regions to calculate the liver fat quantification measurements.

  • Publication number: 20230137479
    Abstract: This application provides a method for reducing interference between a radar and an uplink frequency band. A first network device obtains a characteristic of a radar signal on the uplink frequency band, and determines a corresponding protection measure based on the characteristic of the radar signal, to reduce interference between the radar signal and the uplink frequency band. In this way, when 5G communication collides with the radar in time domain and frequency domain of the uplink frequency band, the 5G communication and the radar can still coexist. This improves utilization of a wireless spectrum.
