US Patent Issued to Siemens Medical Solutions USA on Feb. 10 for "Shear wave imaging based on ultrasound with increased pulse repetition interval" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,544,040, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc. (Malvern, Pa.).

"Shear wave imaging based on ultrasound with increased pulse repetition interval" was invented by Yassin Labyed (Carlsbad, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "For shear wave imaging with ultrasound, the apparent pulse repetition frequency is increased by combining displacements from different lateral locations. Different combinations based on different shear wave velocities and corresponding time shifts and/or attenuations and corresponding scalings are tested to find a smooth displacement profile for the combination. Once the smooth displace...
