    • An ultrasound information processing system comprises a plurality of ultrasound devices coupled to a high-speed serial ultrasound information bus, wherein each ultrasound device comprises a program for communicating with other ultrasound devices according to an ultrasound information exchange protocol (UIEP). The UIEP is a lightweight, connection-oriented protocol adapted to efficiently transfer ultrasound information among different devices on the ultrasound information bus. Each ultrasound device comprises an application layer program for performing an ultrasound function, as well as a lower protocol layer program for receiving and sending data across the ultrasound information bus according to a high-speed serial bus standard that provides both isochronous and asynchronous data delivery. The ultrasound information exchange protocol (UIEP) program is adapted to receive a communication request from the application layer, open a connection-oriented communication session with the requested ultrasound device, and transfer ultrasound information through the lower protocol layer and across the ultrasound information bus to the requested device. Advantageously, any ultrasound device manufacturer provided with the UIEP program may readily generate application layer code capable of communicating with other manufacturers' ultrasound devices across the ultrasound information bus, without requiring specific knowledge of the internal structure of the other manufacturers' devices or of the specific frame/packet structure of the UIEP/lower layer protocols themselves.
    • 超声信息处理系统包括耦合到高速串行超声信息总线的多个超声装置,其中每个超声装置包括根据超声信息交换协议(UIEP)与其他超声装置进行通信的程序。 UIEP是一种轻巧的,面向连接的协议,适用于在超声信息总线上的不同设备之间有效传输超声信息。 每个超声装置包括用于执行超声功能的应用层程序以及用于根据提供同步和异步数据传送的高速串行总线标准跨超声信息总线接收和发送数据的下层协议层程序。 超声信息交换协议(UIEP)程序适于从应用层接收通信请求,打开与所请求的超声设备的面向连接的通信会话,并通过下层协议层和超声信息总线传送超声信息到 请求的设备。 有利地,提供有UIEP程序的任何超声设备制造商可以容易地生成能够跨越超声信息总线与其他制造商的超声装置进行通信的应用层代码,而不需要对其他制造商的设备的内部结构或具体的 UIEP /下层协议本身的帧/分组结构。

    • An ultrasound system that generates compound images from component frames having decorrelated speckle patterns. Successive sets of distinct, speckle-affecting parameters are used to generate successive component frames for compounding, and are selected such that the successive component frames have decorrelated speckle patterns. The speckle-affecting parameters that are changed from frame to frame may be selected from a wide variety of parameters, including transmit beamformer parameters, receive beamformer parameters, and demodulator parameters. According to a preferred embodiment, the successive sets of speckle-affecting parameters differ from each other by at least two speckle-affecting parameters. According to another preferred embodiment, the amount by which each of the multiple speckle-affecting parameters is changed is less than a decorrelation threshold for that parameter, that is, by less that the amount that speckle-affecting parameter alone would be required to change in order to yield decorrelated speckle patterns if no other parameters were changed. When more speckle-affecting parameters are changed, each speckle-affecting parameter can be changed by an amount less than its decorrelation threshold, and yet decorrelated speckle patterns can still be obtained. Moreover, because two different types of speckle-affecting parameters tend to alter the spatial resolution of the component frames in different ways, the spatial resolution of the compounded image can be better as compared to the scenario in which only one speckle-affecting parameter is altered by its decorrelation threshold.
    • 超声系统,其从具有去相关散斑图案的分量帧生成复合图像。 连续的不同的,具有斑点影响的参数被用于生成用于复合的连续分量帧,并且被选择成使得连续分量帧具有去相关的散斑图案。 从帧到帧改变的斑点影响参数可以从各种参数中选择,包括发射波束形成器参数,接收波束形成器参数和解调器参数。 根据优选实施例,连续的斑点影响参数组彼此之间至少有两个斑点影响参数不同。 根据另一个优选实施例,多个斑点影响参数中的每一个改变的量小于该参数的去相关阈值,即,少于仅需要改变斑点影响参数的量 如果没有其他参数被改变,则产生去相关的斑点图案。 当更多的斑点影响参数改变时,每个斑点影响参数可以改变一个小于其去相关阈值的量,然而仍然可以获得去相关的斑点图案。 此外,由于两种不同类型的斑点影响参数倾向于以不同的方式改变分量帧的空间分辨率,所以与仅改变一个斑点影响参数的情况相比,复合图像的空间分辨率可以更好 通过其去相关阈值。

Among other advantages, real-world clinical environments may enjoy cost savings for initial system procurement, space savings on clinic floors, easier and less expensive system upgrades, and the ability to use a single system and user interface for both FFBU screening and for follow-up diagnosis, biopsy, etc. Among other advantages from an ultrasound manufacturer's perspective are the ability to quickly and/or more easily come to market with an FFBU-related offering by modifying their existing general-purpose ultrasound systems (202) with FFBU toolkits to quickly create dual-capability ultrasound systems (200).

    • An architecture and protocol are provided for allowing flexible, low cost, and upgradable ultrasound information processing systems. Ultrasound information processing functions are performed by a plurality of ultrasound modules coupled to a high-speed, multiple-drop serial ultrasound information bus. The ultrasound information bus is used for packetized data transfer among the ultrasound modules in accordance with an ultrasound information exchange protocol. Additional or upgraded ultrasound modules are designed to connect to the ultrasound information bus and to communicate using the ultrasound information exchange protocol. Thus, according to a preferred embodiment, as improvements in hardware technology or software algorithms are made, additional or upgraded ultrasound modules are simply “plugged in” to the ultrasound information bus, hereby reducing costs and increasing system versatility and upgradability.
