Ultrasound elastography system for analyzing tissue elasticity
The granted patent US12059301B2 describes an advanced ultrasound elastography system designed to assess tissue hardness through a combination of ultrasound imaging and elasticity analysis. The system includes an ultrasound probe, a transmitting and receiving unit for generating and capturing ultrasound pulses, and an imaging unit that processes the resulting echo signals to create ultrasound images. A key feature of this system is its analysis unit, which calculates hardness differences between a shell region surrounding a region of interest and a reference region. The results are visually represented through an elasticity histogram, which displays comparative data for the different regions, enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of the ultrasound images.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for user interaction, allowing operators to define the shell region's parameters, including its thickness and shape, around the region of interest. The imaging unit can generate elastic images based on various elasticity parameters, such as shear wave velocity and Young's modulus, with color coding to indicate different tissue hardness levels. The system also includes provisions for storing ultrasound images and analysis results, facilitating further review and comparison. Overall, this ultrasound elastography system aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of tissue characterization in medical diagnostics.
