Title: Innovations in Ultrasonic Imaging by Roy B. Peterson
Introduction
Roy B. Peterson is a notable inventor based in Seattle, WA, with a remarkable portfolio of 11 patents. His work primarily focuses on advancements in ultrasonic diagnostic imaging systems, which have significant implications in medical diagnostics and material property measurements.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents, Peterson has developed an innovative ultrasonic shear wave imaging system. This system produces images of shear wave velocities by transmitting push pulses that generate shear waves. A plurality of tracking lines is transmitted, and echoes are received by a focusing beamformer adjacent to the location of the push pulses. The tracking lines are sampled in a time-interleaved manner, allowing for precise measurement of tissue displacement caused by shear waves. The resultant map of shear wave velocity values is color-coded and displayed over an anatomical image of the region of interest.
Another significant patent involves ultrasonic acoustic radiation force excitation for ultrasonic material property measurement and imaging. This system transmits push pulses in the form of a sheet of energy, producing a shear wavefront that is a plane wave. This method enhances the resolution and sensitivity of the measuring techniques used to detect the shear wave effect, making it a valuable tool in both medical and industrial applications.
