Embodiment Construction

[0023] Embodiments disclosed herein relate to ultrasound imaging systems and methods of use. Ultrasound echograms (e.g., ultrasound images or sonograms) disclosed herein include images or spatially arranged data sets (e.g., returned ultrasound radiation intensity or received radio frequency intensity) in any computer-readable format, such as png, jpeg, gif, tiff, bmp or any other suitable file type. The ultrasound systems and related methods herein provide reliable ultrasound echograms of regions within the body through one or more body structures, such as the chest cavity and / or lungs. The systems and methods herein can identify fluid in a region (eg, body structure or region) within the body, such as fluid in the lungs, by providing selective B-line operating conditions from ultrasound transducers and associated computing devices. B lines appear on echograms at high acoustic impedance mismatch interfaces (eg, tissue / air interfaces in alveoli such as in the lungs). As expla...

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for determining if a fluid is present in a body region. The systems and methods include using ultrasound systems having operational parameters that provide ultrasound echo maps having high resolution B-line artefacts.

Description

technical field [0001] All subject matter of the priority application is hereby incorporated by reference to the extent such subject matter is not inconsistent with this document. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound radiation can be used to probe tissue to identify bodily structures within the body. An ultrasound probe typically includes an ultrasound transducer that emits and detects ultrasound radiation. [0003] Ultrasound probes / transducers are available in a variety of designs, in both linear and curved configurations. In a linear configuration, the array of ultrasound elements may be arranged in a substantially linear or planar arrangement within the ultrasound probe. This linear ultrasound transducer array can provide a substantially linear and horizontal pleural line on the echogram and zero or more A-line artifacts, while also providing a substantially linear and vertically oriented B-line on the echogram Artifacts. In a curvilinear configuration, the array...
