Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to automatically calculating an ultrasound pulse transmission direction and configuring an ultrasound device to transmit ultrasound pulses along the ultrasound pulse transmission direction for pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound imaging. Automatically calculating the ultrasound pulse transmission direction may be based on a selected sample volume within a subject where flow velocity is to be measured with the pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound imaging, and a selected direction of the flow velocity to be measured with the pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound imaging.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein related to modifying the location of an ultrasound imaging plane. Some embodiments include modifying the location of the ultrasound imaging plane based on a user selection. For example, some embodiments include receiving the user selection through a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes an ultrasound imaging plane indicator, where the ultrasound imaging plane indicator indicates the location of the ultrasound imaging plane. As another example, some embodiments include receiving the user selection by detecting tilts, taps, or voice commands. Some embodiments include automatically modifying the location of the ultrasound imaging plane. Some embodiments include modifying the location of the ultrasound imaging plane during biplane imaging.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to detection of one or more taps by an ultrasound device. An ultrasound device may comprise tap detection circuitry and be configured to detect, with the tap detection circuitry, one or more taps on an exterior of the ultrasound device during ultrasound imaging, and transmit an indication of the detection of the one or more taps to a processing device in operative communication with the ultrasound device during the ultrasound imaging. A processing device in operative communication with the ultrasound device may be configured to receive, from the ultrasound device, an indication of detection of one or more taps on an exterior of the ultrasound device during ultrasound imaging, and perform an action controlling an aspect of the ultrasound imaging based on receiving the indication of the detection of the one or more taps from the ultrasound device.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to detecting degrade ultrasound imaging frame rate. Some embodiments include receiving ultrasound data from the ultrasound device, generating ultrasound images from the ultrasound data, taking one or more measurements of ultrasound imaging frame rate based on the ultrasound images, comparing the one or more measurements of ultrasound imaging frame rate to an reference ultrasound imaging frame rate value, and based on a result of comparing the one or more measurements of ultrasound imaging frame rate to the reference ultrasound imaging frame rate value, providing a notification and/or disabling an ultrasound imaging preset and/or an ultrasound imaging mode with which the ultrasound device was configured.
