US Patent:

6450959, Sep 17, 2002

Filed:

Mar 23, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/533445

Inventors:

Larry Y. L. Mo - Waukesha WI
Michael J. Washburn - New Berlin WI
Stephen Mark Peshman - New Berlin WI

Assignee:

GE Medical Systems Global Technology Company - Waukesha WI

International Classification:

A61B 800

US Classification:

600441, 600455, 600456, 128916

Abstract:

An ultrasound scanning system ( ) includes a plurality of range gates ( ) responsive to ultrasound waves for generating a plurality of Doppler signal samples representing different depth increments within a subject (S) being studied. A logic unit ( ) generates Doppler frequency signals and generates B-mode data. A display ( ) generates a B-mode image and a Doppler image which may be superimposed on the B-mode image. The Doppler image (DI) is arranged to illustrate depth increments within the subject being studied versus Doppler velocity or frequency.

Appl. No.:

09/683327

Inventors:

Sanjeev Sharma - Waukesha WI
Stephen Peshman - New Berlin WI

Assignee:

GE Medical Systems Global Technology Company, LLC - Waukesha WI

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

702188, 600437, 128904

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are disclosed for diagnosing multiple ultrasound scanners from a remote location by applying a diagnostic middleware architecture to act as an interface between a web server and diagnostics section within the scanners. A computer that is remote to the scanners interfaces to the web servers of the scanners over a network. The remote computer has a web browser to survey the scanners by communicating with the web servers over the network. The diagnostic middleware architecture initiates execution of diagnostic programs within the scanners in response to client requests received by the web servers from the remote computer over the network. Diagnostic results are generated within the scanners when running the diagnostic programs of the scanners. Log files are generated within the scanners during normal operation of the scanners. The diagnostic middleware architecture reads the diagnostic results and log files and translates the information such that the web servers are able to transfer the information to the remote computer over the network.

Filed:

Nov 22, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/343155

Inventors:

Michael J. Washburn - New Berlin WI
Stephen M. Peshman - New Berlin WI
Chandler A. Johnson - Oconomowoc WI

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

A61B 800

US Classification:

12866101

Abstract:

In a method for obtaining temporal equity of multiple images for ultrasound imaging equipment, a vector set is determined for each of the multiple images, representative of vectors to be aligned. A plurality of independent weights is then calculated for each image based on the vector sets. The plurality of calculated independent weights is used to determine a firing sequence which provides temporal equity of the multiple images.
