Abstract
The present embodiments relate generally to a probe, system, and method for generating a predictive model for moving the probe. The probe can include a movable element that move according to the suggestion of the predictive model. The system can include the probe, a user device, an administrator processor, and a server. The predictive model calculates an image score based on the quality, then the processor can move the movable element based on the score.
Claims20
A probe with a movable element connecting a lens and a handle, the probe comprising:
- a body, wherein the body further comprises:
- a handle configured to be held by one or more hands of a human user;
- a lens;
- and
- a movable element connecting the handle and the lens, the movable element configured to move the lens in response to one or more commands from a predetermined algorithm configured to determine a movement of the lens in relation to an object and wherein the lens moves independently of the handle while the handle remains still.
A system for generating an algorithm configured to acquire improved ultrasound images, the system comprising:
- a probe comprising:
- a body, wherein the body further comprises:
- a handle configured to be held by one or more hands of a human user;
- a lens;
- and
- a movable element connecting the handle and the lens, the movable element configured to move the lens in response to one or more commands from a predetermined algorithm configured to determine a movement of the lens in relation to an object, and wherein the lens moves independently of the handle while the handle remains still;
- and
- a processor configured to move the movable element of the probe,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- receive, from the probe, one or more images;
- analyze, upon receiving the one or more images, the one or more images for quality;
- generate, upon analyzing the one or more images for quality, a predictive model configured to determine an image score based on the quality of the one or more images wherein the predictive model comprises a model of image quality versus the location of the probe with respect to the subject;
- calculate, by the predictive model, the image score for the one or more images;
- and
- move, upon calculating the image score, the movable element of the probe.
A method for applying a probe guided by a predetermined algorithm, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a probe comprising a body, wherein the body further comprises:
- a handle configured to held by one or more hands of a human user;
- a lens;
- and
- a movable element connecting the handle and the lens, the movable element configured to move the lens and wherein the lens moves independently of the handle while the handle remains still;
- receiving, by a processor from the probe, one or more images;
- analyzing, by the processor upon receiving the images, the images for quality;
- generating, by the processor upon analyzing the images for quality, a predictive model configured to determine an image score based on the quality of the one or more images wherein the predictive model comprises a model of image quality versus a location of the probe with respect to an object;
- calculating, by the predictive model, the image score for the one or more images;
- and
- moving, by the processor, upon calculating the image score, a movable element of the probe.
