Abstract: This disclosure describes a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable media for an ultrasound probe configured to capture ultrasound images of an examination region. The system includes a first set of one or more sensors coupled to the ultrasound probe and configured to estimate a first positional information associated with the ultrasound probe. The system includes a second set of one or more sensors coupled to the ultrasound probe and configured to capture electromagnetic force (EMF) measurements in the examination region to estimate a second positional information associated with the ultrasound probe. The second positional information is used to calibrate the first set of one or more sensors. The system includes a controller configured to use at least one of (i) the first positional information, or (ii) the second positional information to generate a reconstruction of the examination region based on ultrasound images captured by the ultrasound probe.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wearable ultrasound device comprising a flexible body comprising a plurality of layers, a shape sensor integrated into a first layer of the flexible body, and an ultrasound transducer coupled to the shape sensor. The ultrasound transducer is configured for capturing images of a subject, and the shape sensor is configured for determining a location of the ultrasound transducer relative to the flexible body.

Abstract: A system includes: an ultrasound array comprising a first subset of transducer elements are configured to emit ultrasound pulses through the subject's skull for performing a neuro-modulation of the subject's brain during use of the system, and a second subset of transducer elements configured to receive ultrasound signals from the subject's skull and brain in response to the ultrasound pulses being emitted from the first subset of transducer elements; and a controller coupled to the ultrasound array, wherein the controller is configured, during use of the system, to: detect a change of a physiological parameter in at least a portion of the subject's brain based on, at least in part, the ultrasound signals received by the second subset of transducer elements, and determine a dose of the neuro-modulation of the subject's brain based on, at least in part, the detected change of the physiological parameter.
