发明名称 AUTONOMOUS ULTRASOUND PROBE AND RELATED APPARATUS AND METHODS
摘要 An ultrasound apparatus comprising a plurality of ultrasonic transducers, a non-acoustic sensor, a memory circuitry to store control data for operating the ultrasound apparatus to perform an acquisition task, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an indication to perform the acquisition task, receive non-acoustic data obtained by the non-acoustic sensor, and control, based on the control data and the non-acoustic data, the plurality of ultrasonic transducers to obtain acoustic data for the acquisition task.

主权项 1. An ultrasound apparatus, comprising: an ultrasound probe comprising: a plurality of ultrasonic transducers;a motion sensor configured to detect motion of the ultrasound probe;a memory circuitry storing control data for operating the ultrasound probe to perform an acquisition task; anda controller configured to: receive an indication, from an external device external to the ultrasound probe, to perform the acquisition task;control, based on the control data, the ultrasound probe to begin autonomously performing the acquisition task, in response to receiving the indication;receive, from the motion sensor, motion data obtained by the motion sensor while the ultrasound probe is performing the acquisition task; andafter receiving the motion data obtained by the motion sensor while the ultrasound probe is performing the acquisition task, compensate for the motion of the ultrasound probe, based on the motion data obtained by the motion sensor, by adjusting how the ultrasound probe performs the acquisition task by continuing imaging, using beam steering, a same portion of a subject as was being imaged prior to the motion of the ultrasound probe.
