The present invention is directed to a method for health monitoring using one or more sensors comprising first measuring (100) a body composition via one or more sensors. The measured body composition is then classified (102) into one of a plurality of categories. An at least one setting to be used for the health monitoring is adjusted (104) based on the classified body composition. Then, the health monitoring is performed (106) using the adjusted at least one health monitoring setting, wherein at least one of the sensors used to measure the body composition may also be used to perform the health monitoring.

A system and method for performing a non-fluoroscopic transseptal procedure may comprise a catheter and a device comprising a sheath, an introducer and a transducer embedded on the introducer and configured to perform a measurement during the non-fluoroscopic transseptal procedure. In this system, the transducer may be embedded on the outer surface of the introducer, or embedded on the inner surface of the introducer, or embedded within the introducer. The transducer may be a ring transducer or a circular transducer. The measurement is based on a plurality of ultrasonic pulses transmitted from the transducer, and the measurement determines a location of the catheter and/or a puncture location. In another embodiment, the transducer is embedded on a needle instead of an introducer.

A device and a control program of a device. According to an embodiment, the device includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to display first and second B-mode images created based on an echo signal of an ultrasonic pulse acquired from a subject on the display. The first and second B-mode images displayed on the display are moving images, and the first and second B-mode images of each frame forming the moving image are created based on the same echo signal. The second B-mode image is displayed smaller than the first B-mode image on the display.

Machine learning trains to tune settings. For training, the user interactions with the image parameters (i.e., settings) as part of ongoing examination of patients are used to establish the ground truth positive and negative examples of settings instead of relying on an expert review of collected samples. Patient information, location information, and/or user information may also be included in the training data so that the network is trained to provide settings for different situations based on the included information. During application, the patient is imaged. The initial or subsequent image is input with other information (e.g., patient, user, and/or location information) to the machine-trained network to output settings to be used for improved imaging in the situation.

During acquisition of an ultrasound image feed, ultrasound control data frames are acquired that may be interspersed amongst the ultrasound data frames. The control data frames may use consistent reference scan parameters, irrespective of the scanner settings, and may not need to be converted to image frames. The control data frames can be passed to an artificial intelligence model, which predicts the suitable settings for scanning the anatomy that is being scanned. The artificial intelligence model can be trained with a dataset containing different classes of ultrasound control data frames for different settings, where substantially all the ultrasound control data frames in the dataset are consistently acquired using the reference scan parameters.

Functional ultrasound imaging (“fUS”) is used to facilitate the placement of electrodes for spinal cord stimulation and to optimize and update stimulation parameters for spinal cord stimulation devices.

The present invention provides devices and systems for detecting shunt malfunction. The detection devices employ ultrasound instrumentations to evaluate shunt malfunction. The detection devices can be coupled with pumps to provide consistent shunt valve and/or reservoir actuation for reliable readings. The devices can output a determination of a degree of shunt blockage and relative location of shunt blockage.

Systems and techniques are provided for an event-based ultrasound system. An event-based ultrasound system may include a transducer array, a computing and imaging device, and a connection. The transducer array may include transducer elements and a timing system. The transducer elements may be connected to event-detection circuits. The event-detection circuits may generate events based on the electrical signals of the transducer elements. Data for an event may include an up-down value, a timestamp based on the timing system, and an address of a transducer element. The connection may connect the transducer array to the computing and imaging device. Data for the events generated by the event-detection circuits may be transmitted to the computing and imaging device across the connection.
