An analysis apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to obtain quantitative values of a plurality of types of tissue properties relating to a region of interest of a subject, and generate a diagram of the region of interest based on the quantitative values.

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image obtaining unit, a contour position obtaining unit, a volume information calculating unit, and a controlling unit. The image obtaining unit obtains a plurality of groups of two-dimensional ultrasound image data each of which is generated by performing ultrasound scans, the ultrasound scans being performed on each of a plurality of predetermined cross-sectional planes, and performed for predetermined time. The contour position obtaining unit obtains, by performing a tracking process over the predetermined time period, time-series data of contour positions, the contour positions being either one of, or both of, a cavity interior and a cavity exterior of a predetermined site. The volume information calculating unit calculates, on a basis of a plurality of the time-series data of contour positions, volume information of the predetermined site. The controlling unit exercises control so as to output the volume information.

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus (1) includes an ultrasound probe (2) having a predetermined size; and a portable diagnostic apparatus main body (3), in which the diagnostic apparatus main body (3) includes a camera (25) that captures an optical image including a wound region of a subject and the ultrasound probe, an image generation unit (22) that generates an ultrasound image for the wound region, a monitor (24) that displays the optical image and the ultrasound image, an extraction unit (26) that extracts the wound region and the ultrasound probe from the optical image, and a wound size calculation unit (27) that calculates an actual size of the wound region on the basis of the predetermined size of the ultrasound probe (2) by comparing the extracted wound region and the extracted ultrasound probe (2), and displays the actual size on the monitor (24).

A roof mounted module for a vehicle includes an imager housing in secure engagement with a roof of the vehicle. The imager housing defines a lateral aperture and a vertical aperture. An imager is disposed in the imager housing and is in communication with the lateral aperture. An antenna housing is removably coupled to the imager housing and is in communication with the vehicle via a data connection that extends through the vertical aperture.

Disclosed herein are acoustic transmission systems comprising an acoustic wave generator configured to generate an acoustic wave and propagate the acoustic wave through a tissue of a specimen, and a non-Hermitian complementary metamaterial (NHCMM) configured to add a first amount of energy amplification coherently to the acoustic wave to account for energy loss in the acoustic wave as a result of the wave propagating through the tissue of the specimen. The acoustic wave generator can be an ultrasound generator, and the tissue can be a cranium.

A computing system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions for processing ultrasound images are presented. The computing system is configured to: receive an ultrasound image that includes image data representing subdermal tissue; apply a trained neural network to the ultrasound image to generate at least one of: a pliability parameter value which indicates pliability of the subdermal tissue, one or more regions of the ultrasound image that represents damaged tissue, or an indication of presence and/or location of an entrapped nerve.

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus (1) includes an ultrasound probe (2); an image acquisition unit that generates an ultrasound image by performing transmission and reception of an ultrasound beam with respect to a subject using the ultrasound probe (2); and an initial condition setting unit (25) that sets a basic sound speed value for generating the ultrasound image of a breast of the subject on the basis of a ratio of mammary glands in the breast, which is calculated by analyzing a radiation image in which the breast is imaged, in which the image acquisition unit generates the ultrasound image of the breast using the basic sound speed value.

A system includes (a) a catheter for insertion into an organ of a patient, a distal end of the catheter, the distal end including: (i) one or more ultrasound transducers (UT), which are configured to apply ultrasound (US) waves to the organ and to produce one or more US signals indicative of a surface topography of the organ, and (ii) a position sensor, which is configured to produce one or more position signals indicative of one or more respective positions of the distal end inside the organ, and (b) a processor, which is configured, based on the US signals and the position signals, to: (i) produce an anatomical map of the surface topography, and (ii) visualize a change in a slope of the surface topography.

A system and method for scanning a pig (or other food animal) to determine body composition and quality data in real time while the pig (or food animal) is suspended in mid-air by a lift apron in electronic communication with an ultrasound console and computer processor and configured to collect and process “target images” from the pig (or food animal) when a thumb switch activates the processor. The ultrasound probe is vertically displaced from and vertically adjustable relative to the framework so that the ultrasound probe is selectively positioned in relative space. With reference to target images, a processor calculates in real time a quantitative measurement indicative of backfat depth, muscle depth, and intramuscular fat for the pig (or food animal) being scanned.

An ultrasonic diagnostic device includes: a transmission and reception circuit that processes reception signals output from an ultrasonic probe to generate reception data; a memory that stores the reception data; an image data generation portion that generates B-mode image data and M-mode image data based on the reception data; a detection portion that detects hand movement or body movement in the reception data; a determination portion that detects an amount of change of a relative position between the ultrasonic probe and a body under test in the reception data in which the hand movement or the body movement is detected, and determine an accuracy of the reception data; and an elastic characteristic calculation portion that measures a displacement magnitude of a living body tissue in the reception data determined by the determination portion to be highly accurate, and calculates elastic characteristic by using the displacement magnitude.
