Abstract

A Multiple Aperture Ultrasound Imaging system and methods of use are provided with any number of features. In some embodiments, a multi-aperture ultrasound imaging system is configured to transmit and receive ultrasound energy to and from separate physical ultrasound apertures. In some embodiments, a transmit aperture of a multi-aperture ultrasound imaging system is configured to transmit an omni-directional unfocused ultrasound waveform approximating a first point source through a target region. In some embodiments, the ultrasound energy is received with a single receiving aperture. In other embodiments, the ultrasound energy is received with multiple receiving apertures. Algorithms are described that can combine echoes received by one or more receiving apertures to form high resolution ultrasound images. Additional algorithms can solve for variations in tissue speed of sound, thus allowing the ultrasound system to be used virtually anywhere in or on the body.

Claims (11)

1 . An ultrasound probe, comprising:

a probe body housing a transducer array comprising a plurality of transducers, the transducer array being configured to transmit unfocused two-dimensional ultrasound waveforms into tissue;

a position memory configured to receive position information for each of the plurality of transducer relative to a common reference point; and

at least one processor configured to establish a transmit aperture of the transducer array spaced apart from a receive aperture of the transducer array, wherein the transmit aperture and receive aperture are not in a common scan plane, the at least one processor being further configured to generate 3D ultrasound imaging datasets based on the unfocused two-dimensional ultrasound waveforms and the position information.

2 . The ultrasound probe of claim 1 , wherein the 3D ultrasound imaging datasets are produced by rocking the probe body on a patient's skin.

3 . The ultrasound probe of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to correct for speed of sound incongruences in the tissue.

4 . The ultrasound probe of claim 1 , wherein the transmit aperture and the receive aperture are separated by a distance of 10 cm or greater.

5 . The ultrasound probe of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to increase an angle between the transmit aperture and the receive aperture to improve resolution.

6 . The ultrasound probe of claim 1 , further comprising one or more precision position sensors disposed on the probe and configured to obtain the position information while two-dimensional ultrasound waveforms are transmitted.

7 . The ultrasound probe of claim 6 , wherein the precision position sensors comprise one or more gyroscopic sensors.

8 . The ultrasound probe of claim 1 , further comprising a mechanical rotator mechanism configured to record the position information.
