Abstract
In some implementations, the device may include a plurality of ultrasound sensors configured to capture tomographical information of a physiological structure. In addition, the device may include an ultrasound coupling medium on each of the plurality of ultrasound sensors. The device may include a processing device configured to: apply beamforming techniques to the ultrasound sensors; capture, using the plurality of ultrasound sensors, bodily data of overlapping volumes of the physiological structure; process the bodily data to generate a vessel location model; and locate a blood vessel from the generated vessel location model.
Claims26
A blood vessel locating device, comprising:
- a plurality of ultrasound sensors configured to capture tomographical information of a physiological structure;
- an ultrasound coupling medium on each of the plurality of ultrasound sensors;
- and
- a processing device configured to:
- apply beamforming techniques to the ultrasound sensors;
