    Abstract: A patch sensor adapted to process echo information to generate a first type of medical data and/or a second, different type of medical data using a respective processing pathway. A communications module of the patch sensor is adapted to be switchable between a first mode, in which only the first type of medical data is transmitted to a medical device, and a second mode, in which at least the second type of medical data is transmitted to the 5 medical device. The first type of medical data occupies a smaller bandwidth (during transmittal) than the second type of medical data.

    Abstract: A system for determining a position of an interventional device (11) respective an imaging field (B1 . . . k) corresponding to a type (T1 . . . n) of a beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) currently connected to an ultrasound imaging system (14). The position is determined based on ultrasound signals transmitted between the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) and an ultrasound transducer (15) attached to the interventional device (11). An image reconstruction unit (IRU) provides a reconstructed ultrasound image (RUI) corresponding to the imaging field (B1 . . . k). A position determination unit (PDU) receives input indicative of the type (T1 . . . k) of the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) currently connected to the ultrasound imaging system (14). The position determination unit (PDU) also computes a position (LAPTOFFSmax, θIPA) of the ultrasound transducer (15) respective the imaging field (B1 . . . k). Computing the position (LAPTOFSmax, θIPA) comprises selecting from a group of beam sequences corresponding to a plurality of imaging probe types (T1 . . . n) a beam sequence corresponding to the type (T1 . . . n) of the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) currently connected to the ultrasound imaging system (14) and assigning detected ultrasound signals to the selected beam sequence.

    Abstract: An ultrasound system includes an ultrasound probe (205) and an image processor (202) for generating ultrasound images from acoustic data received by the probe, and for automatically making adjustments to beamformed acoustic pulse locations and deriving the adjustments to the pulse locations from pre-established user image adjustment selections available on a user interface. A relationship is established between a depth of a distal end (231) of a medical device (230) and a transmit focal depth displayed on a display (300). A depth of the distal end of the medical device (230) is used to generate increment/decrement decisions with respect to a transmit focal depth.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an ultrasound imaging system configured to identify a target placement of an ultrasound probe for viewing a lung pleural line. In some examples, the system may include an ultrasound probe configured to receive ultrasound echoes from a subject to image a region of the subject and a data processor in communication with the ultrasound probe. The data processor may be configured to identify one or more candidate pleural lines and one or more A-lines corresponding to the candidate pleural lines, compute an A-line intensity of at least one of the A-lines, and apply the computed A-line intensity to indicate a target placement of the ultrasound probe for imaging the region for pleural line identification. The system may also include a user interface in communication with the data processor. The user interface may be configured to alert the user of the target placement of the ultrasound probe.
