By showing flow in vessels with a high degree of contrast-to-tissue specificity, ultrasound based 3D contrast agent based coronary artery angiograms may be possible. Measurement and display of the velocity ... 02/16/06 - 20060036174 - Contrast agent imaging with agent specific ultrasound detection Highly specific measurements of flow in vessels, such as the coronary artery, can be obtained by processing cubic fundamental information. By showing flow in vessels with a high degree of contrast-to-tissue specificity, ultrasound based 3D contrast agent based coronary artery angiograms may be possible. Measurement and display of the velocity ... 02/09/06 - 20060030779 - Intensity level control for contrast agent imaging A target mechanical index, acoustic pressure, intensity or other value associated with contrast agent imaging is established. For contrast agent imaging associated with limited destruction of contrast agents, the transmit power is matched to the target intensity value as a function of position, time or combinations thereof. Given multiple foci, ... 01/26/06 - 20060020209 - Ultrasonic imaging apparatus A method for reducing a burden on an operator at the time of administration of a contrast agent and thereby performing a stable contrast inspection, a time up to a contrast-agent administration start time is counted down by a contrast timer. The countdown is notified by a voice output unit ... 01/26/06 - 20060020208 - Sensing gas bubbles in a living body A method of detecting gas bubbles in a living body, comprising: transmitting at least one original electromagnetic signal to a body portion; detecting a signal modulated by a flow of blood in said body portion; and analyzing a perturbation in said signal to determine at least one of an existence ... 12/08/05 - 20050273010 - Method and system for ultrasound contrast-imaging Methods and systems for controlling an ultrasound system are provided. The method includes transmitting an imaging pulse sequence and transmitting at least one modification pulse between successive pulses in the imaging pulse sequence. The modification pulse is configured to change a contrast agent within an object being imaged by an ... 12/01/05 - 20050267371 - Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus With respect to a scanning plane of a subject having been injected with a contrast agent, an ultrasound transmission section 6 transmits for a plurality of times an ultrasonic pulse of such an intensity capable of collapsing the contrast agent. An ultrasound reception section 5 receives an echo signal cluster ... 10/20/05 - 20050234340 - Bolus control for contrast imaging with 3d The present invention relates to contrast imaging.
