Problems solved by technology

Due to the very limited field of view (FoV) of the ultrasound, it is impossible to know if all the affected parts of Covid-19 or hotspots in the subject's lungs have been covered during the lung exam

Embodiment Construction

[0020] In the following specification and claims, reference will be made to several terms which shall be defined to have the following meanings.

[0021] The singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0022] As used herein, the term "non-transitory computer-readable medium" is intended to mean any tangible computer-based device implemented in any method or technology for short-term and long-term storage of information, such as computer-readable instructions in any device , data structures, program modules and submodules, or other data. Accordingly, the methods described herein may be encoded as executable instructions embodied in a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium including, but not limited to, storage devices and / or memory devices. Such instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform at least a portion of the methods described herein. Furthermore, as used herein, th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for guided lung coverage and automatic detection using an ultrasound device. A method for guided automatic coverage and pathology detection of a subject includes positioning an ultrasound probe on a region of a body of the subject to be imaged. The method includes capturing a video of a subject and processing the video to generate a torso image of the subject and identifying a location of an ultrasound probe on a body of the subject. The method includes registering the video with the anatomical atlas to generate a mask of a region of the subject's body to be imaged, the region including a plurality of sub-regions of the subject's body and superimposing the mask over the torso image. The method further includes displaying, on the torso image, an indicator corresponding to a location of each of the plurality of sub-regions. The method further includes displaying a relative position of the ultrasound probe relative to an indicator corresponding to a position of each of a plurality of sub-regions of the subject's body to be imaged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to improved medical imaging systems and methods, and more particularly to systems and methods for guided lung coverage and automatic detection of pathology by adjusting the position of an ultrasound probe on a subject's body. Background technique [0002] Various medical imaging systems and methods are used to obtain images of affected areas of a subject for use in diagnosing medical conditions. Ultrasound imaging is a known medical imaging technique used to image different body parts such as joints, muscle vessels and pregnant women (known as obstetric ultrasound). Ultrasound imaging offers several advantages over other imaging techniques because ultrasound is a real-time imaging technique that provides a real-time image stream. Ultrasound devices are commercially available in a variety of configurations, and portable ultrasound devices are used to capture relatively large areas of a subject's anatomy, such as...
