| 20090318810 | Operation Control Of An Ultrasound System Based On An Impact Pattern Applied Thereto - There are disclosed embodiments for controlling an operation of an ultrasound system based on an impact applied thereto. In the ultrasound system designed to operate in a plurality of diagnostic modes, a user may be verified based on the impact pattern applied to the ultrasound system. Also, a desirable diagnostic mode of the ultrasound system may be selected and executed based on the impact pattern. The ultrasound system may include an ultrasound diagnostic unit to form ultrasound images based on ultrasound echo signals reflected from a target object. An impact detecting unit may detect impacts applied to the ultrasound diagnostic unit from a user to thereby output impact pattern information. A control unit may control an operation of the ultrasound diagnostic unit based on the impact pattern information so that the diagnostic mode corresponding to the impact pattern information may be executed. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100049051 | Providing Hospital Information In A Portable Ultrasound System - Embodiments for providing hospital information in a portable ultrasound system are disclosed. The portable ultrasound system includes a position information receiving unit to receive position information of the portable ultrasound system from an external system (e.g., GPS). A storage unit stores a table associating a plurality of diagnostic applications with respective diagnostic departments, and hospital information including hospital location information and diagnostic department information of a plurality of hospitals. A hospital information extracting unit searches the storage unit to find at least one hospital having a diagnostic department corresponding to an executed diagnostic application, and extracts hospital information corresponding to a hospital nearest to the portable ultrasound system among the at least one hospital based on the position information of the portable ultrasound system and the location information of the found hospitals. The portable ultrasound system displays location information on a screen of a display unit based on the extracted hospital information. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100125202 | REGION SETTING FOR INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS MEASUREMENT IN AN ULTRASOUND SYSTEM - The present invention relates to an ultrasound system and a method of setting an intima-media thickness (IMT) measuring region. The ultrasound system comprises an ultrasound diagnosis unit configured to transmit ultrasound signals to a target object, receive ultrasound echo signals reflected from the target object and form an ultrasound image including a plurality of pixels based on the ultrasound echo signals, each pixel having an intensity of gray level. The ultrasound system further comprises a processor configured to compute intensities of the pixels at each row in the ultrasound image to form a first graph, compute first moving averages of the intensities for first subsets of rows in the ultrasound image by dividing the intensities by a thickness of a blood vessel to form a second graph, compute second moving averages of the intensities for second subsets of rows in the ultrasound image by dividing the intensities by a thickness of a vascular wall to form a third graph, and set an intima-media thickness (IMT) measuring region by using inflection points from the second and third graphs. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100125203 | Finding A Standard View Corresponding To An Acquired Ultrasound Image - Embodiments for automatically finding a standard view corresponding to an acquired ultrasound image of a target object in an ultrasound system are disclosed. A mapping table associating information on a plurality of standard views of a target object with predetermined first feature vectors is stored in the storage unit. The predetermined first feature vectors may have been previously calculated from the typical plane images corresponding to the standard views. A processing unit calculates a second feature vector from an acquired ultrasound image, and refers to the mapping table to select one of the first feature vectors closest to the second feature vector. The processing unit extracts information on the standard view corresponding to the selected first feature vector from the mapping table. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100174193 | Comparison Of Ultrasound Data Before And After Medical Treatment - A system and a method of comparing ultrasound data associated with an object of interest before and after the medical treatment and providing the comparison information are disclosed. A plurality of first ultrasound data associated with an object of interest are stored before the medical treatment on the object of interest in the target body and a plurality of second ultrasound data associated with an object of interest are stored after the medical treatment on the object of interest in the target body in a storage unit. Instructions are input from a user for selecting any pair of first ultrasound data and second ultrasound data among a plurality of the first ultrasound data and a plurality of the second ultrasound data, which are stored in the storage unit. From the storage unit, the first ultrasound data and the second ultrasound data are extracted, and the extracted first ultrasound data and the extracted second ultrasound data are compared to form comparison information. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20120016235 | ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and method thereof. The apparatus displays an ultrasound image obtained from an object on a first region of a display unit, and displays image information regarding measurement data with respect to a desired section of the ultrasound image on a second region of the display unit, wherein the image information displayed on the second region comprises an image map in which overall measurement data obtained at respective diagnosis points are accumulated in a time-series manner. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120016240 | ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for providing a combination of an ultrasound image and a color flow image.
