Methods for Robust, Accurate and Real-time Localization of Needles in 2D and 3D Ultrasound
Invention Summary:Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to guide the placement of needles for tissue biopsies, catheter insertions, drainages, and anesthesia. However, visual artifacts make it difficult to locate the needle in cases of steep insertion angles (40-80 degrees) and depths (9 cm). Hence, there is a need for a method for real-time needle detection....

Computational Ultrasound for Improved Liver and Kidney Diagnosis
Invention Summary: Transabdominal ultrasound is the one of the most widely used imaging modality for initial imaging of patients diagnosed with liver diseases such as Hepatitis C virus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, current imaging processes cannot differentiate simple steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and hepatic fibrosis. Researchers...
