Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for ultrasound compound imaging with combined fundamental and harmonic signals." This invention includes a system and method for improved compound imaging using a plurality of imaging modes. In this embodiment, a plurality of echo signals are received in response to beams formed based on different imaging modes corresponding to various steering angles. The echo signals are compounded to create a compound image, employing different imaging modes to reduce grating lobe artifacts while improving the speckle reduction effect.
Another notable patent is "Method and apparatus for tissue harmonic imaging with natural (tissue) decoded coded excitation." This invention provides tissue harmonic imaging using an ultrasound machine by transmitting coded pulses and their phase-inverted versions into the tissue. The backscattered echoes are received and filtered, allowing for natural decoding and compression of the received echoes without the need for costly filters.
