摘要： A bearing catheter (20) for stabilizing and positioning a therapeutic/diagnostic catheter (100) at a predetermined location within a lumen (210). The bearing catheter (20) comprises a tube (22) sized to receive the therapeutic/diagnostic catheter (100) so that the latter is free to move axially and rotationally within the tube (22) while remaining substantially fixed radially with the tube (22). The bearing catheter tube (22) has a wall thickness selected so that, and is made from a material chosen so that, a laser beam of selected wavelength can be transmitted through the tube with little or no absorption of the laser energy so that the tube (22) will not be damaged and so that ultrasonic imaging signals may be transmitted and received through the tube (22).

摘要： Methods and apparatus for measuring and characterizing the localized electromagnetic wave absorption properties of biologic tissues (12) in vivo, using incident electromagnetic waves to produce resultant acoustic waves (26). Multiple acoustic transducers (33) are acoustically coupled to the surface of the tissue for measuring acoustic waves produced in the tissue when the tissue is exposed to a pulse of electromagnetic radiation. The multiple transducer signals are then combined to produce an image of the absorptivity of the tissue, which image may be used for medical diagnostic purposes. In specific embodiments, the transducers are moved to collect data from multiple locations, to facilitate imaging. Specific arrangements of transducers are illustrated. Also, specific mathematical reconstruction procedures are described for producing images from transducer signals.

摘要： A technique for subspeckle visibility in ultrasound imaging by using the speckle signatures to differentiate soft tissue from dense tissue and solid or compact objects. The information provided by a disparity mapper is used to automatically mark or tag these objects based on the observation that slight natural motion in soft tissue, as caused by breathing or probe compression, changes the details of a speckle pattern. This results from differential displacements among scatterers which alter the phase relations between their scattered fields. A small, compact object is displaced and distorted less, implying that its reflectivity pattern should be relatively stable, as compared to the fluctuating background reflectivity. This difference in the way the speckle patterns respond to body motion is detected by the disparity mapper. The output of the disparity mapper serves a marker or tag of dense tissue such as tumors or compact objects such as bits of shrapnel. Such techniques may be used by trained hospital sonographers and physicians to improve the location and identification of tumors and foreign objects in the tissue of a patient.

摘要： An osteoporosis diagnosis apparatus provided with a two-dimensional ultrasonic transducer array (3) comprising a number of cells (11, 12, ...). The ultrasonic transducer array (3) is applied to the skin covering a predetermined bone of a subject, and the individual cells sequentially emit a predetermined number of ultrasonic pulses through the skin while receiving echoes from the bone. The received echo data are processed so that they can be handled in a planewave problem, from which the information on the reflection from the bone is determined. This information is processed to obtain the acoustic impedance of a cortical bone and a cancellous bone, so as to check for the presence of osteoporosis. The information on the reflection from the bone can also be handled as an eigen-value problem, and, when the information is handled in such a manner, the shape determination of a bone becomes unnecessary.

摘要： An ultrasonic measuring apparatus (Fig. 2) and method (Fig. 5) to accurately determine the depth of an overlaying backfat (14-20) on an animal (8) without incurring any damage to the animal. The apparatus employs a reverse time analysis approach in which a pulse generator (28) sends a preselected ultrasonic input signal by way of a piezoelectric transducer (16) through the outer skin (12) and successively through each one of the animal's fat layer interfaces (15, 17, 20) to a preselected distance within the loin portion (22) of the animal. This reverse time approach then analyzes the resulting echo signal produced by the input signal sequentially in a direction from this loin portion toward the outer fat layers (14, 16, 18). The first strong signal within a specified range, which depends on the species, breed, age or weight of the animal to be measured, is taken as the bottom-most fat/loin transition. A microprocessor (44) is employed to measure and analyze the amplitude and contour of this signal in a direction toward the loin until it reaches a fixed point that is a prescribed percentage of the peak value of the amplitude of this signal, the magnitude of which depends on the type of animal under measurement. The value derived in this manner is an accurate measurement of the depth of overlaying backfat and is automatically displayed in digital form on a screen (46).

摘要： The microstructure of bone is analyzed with ultrasonic waves. Cancellous bone is modeled in advance into a plurality of two-dimensionally arranged circular cylinders in view of ultrasonic wave scattering and the theoretical formulae of the model are derived. Then an organism is subjected to ultrasonic waves and reflected waves from the cancellous bone are received. The frequency characteristics of received signals generated by the reception of the ultrasonic waves is calculated and the unknown values of the parameters contained in the theoretical formulae are estimated based on the frequency characteristics. The interval between trabeculae and the thickness of each trabecula are estimated as the values of the parameters.

摘要： The disclosed system for measuring the periodic content of an input signal includes an auto-correlation function generator (120) for generating a sequence of auto-correlation functions. Each of the auto-correlation functions is representative of an auto-correlation function of a portion of the input signal. The system further includes a temporal filter for filtering the auto-correlation functions and thereby generating a lag histogram. In other forms the system may comprise a fetal heart rate monitor for measuring the heart rate of a fetus in vivo. The monitor generates a lag histogram and uses the lag histogram for stabilizing the determination of the fetal heart rate.
