METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH USER GUIDANCE AND AUTOMATED IMAGE SETTING SELECTION FOR MITRAL REGURGITATION EVALUATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18285028 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH USER GUIDANCE AND AUTOMATED IMAGE SETTING SELECTION FOR MITRAL REGURGITATION EVALUATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an ultrasound imaging system and method for improving MR quantification by using predictive models to guide the positioning of the ultrasound probe and adjust imaging settings for each measurement during the process.
- Ultrasound imaging system programmed to execute routines and use predictive models
- Provides user guidance and automation for positioning the ultrasound probe
- Adjusts imaging settings for each measurement of the MR quantification process
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in medical settings for improving the accuracy and efficiency of MR quantification processes, particularly in cardiac imaging.
Problems Solved
1. Inaccuracies in MR quantification due to improper positioning of the ultrasound probe 2. Time-consuming manual adjustments of imaging settings for each measurement
Benefits
1. Improved accuracy in MR quantification 2. Increased efficiency in the imaging process 3. User-friendly guidance for operators
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing MR Quantification with Ultrasound Imaging System" could be used in hospitals, clinics, and research facilities specializing in cardiac imaging.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of predictive models in medical imaging to improve accuracy and efficiency, but the specific application of using ultrasound imaging to guide MR quantification processes may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact patient outcomes in MR quantification processes?
This article does not provide information on the potential impact of this technology on patient outcomes in terms of accuracy of diagnosis or treatment decisions.
What are the limitations of using ultrasound imaging for MR quantification compared to other imaging modalities?

Original Abstract Submitted
Ultrasound imaging system and method for improving MR quantification is described. An ultrasound imaging system according to some embodiments may be programmed to execute one or more routines and use one or more trained predictive models to provide user guidance and/or automation for positioning the ultrasound probe to acquire a desired cardiac view and tune the imaging settings of the system for each measurement of the MR quantification process.
