    • A method, system, computer program product, and user interface for real-time ultrasonic visualization enhancement of a biopsy needle are disclosed in which a wide range of needle positions with respect to the ultrasound probe axis and with respect to the imaged plane are accommodated. Ordinary frames are compounded with special purpose frames, the special purpose frames having transmit and receive parameters adapted to highlight reception of echoes from the biopsy needle. Preferably, an elevation beam width associated with the special purpose ultrasound frames is wider than an elevation beam width associated with the ordinary ultrasound frames. Preferably, the beams of the special purpose ultrasound frames are steered such that they are incident upon the biopsy needle at an increased angle as compared to the angle of incidence for ordinary ultrasound frames. A method for automatically and adaptively determining the depth and orientation of a biopsy needle is also described, whereby beam steering parameters, focus parameters, etc. may be automatically and adaptively computed. The user may optionally provide selected beam steering parameters to the ultrasound imaging system using a simple, intuitive user interface.
    • 公开了一种用于活检针的实时超声可视化增强的方法,系统,计算机程序产品和用户界面,其中适应相对于超声探针轴和相对于成像平面的宽范围的针位置。 普通帧与专用帧相结合,专用帧具有适于突出从活检针接收回波的发射和接收参数。 优选地,与专用超声波帧相关联的仰角波束宽度比与普通超声波帧相关联的仰角波束宽度宽。 优选地,专用超声波框架的梁被转向,使得它们与普通超声波框架的入射角相比以更大的角度入射到活检针上。 还描述了一种用于自动和自适应地确定活检针的深度和取向的方法,由此可以自动和自适应地计算光束转向参数,聚焦参数等。 使用者可以使用简单直观的用户界面来选择性地向超声成像系统提供选择的波束操纵参数。

    • 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。

    • A modular, flexible architecture for offering full-field breast ultrasound (FFBU) functionality and general-purpose ultrasound functionality in a single system is described. A conventional, general-purpose ultrasound system (202) is modified with an FFBU toolkit to create a dual-capability ultrasound system (200), the dual-capability ultrasound system (200) being able to accommodate both general-purpose ultrasound functionality and FFBU functionality, using a single ultrasound engine (112). 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).
