Methods and Systems for Ultrasound Imaging of a Body in Motion
Summary
The USPTO granted Patent US12599358B2 to inventors Philippe Cormier, Jonathan Poree, and Jean Provost for methods and systems enabling ultrasound imaging of a body in motion. The patent covers computing Lagrangian coordinates from Eulerian-based ultrasound images and forming Lagrangian-based ultrasound images using those coordinates. The patent contains 20 claims and was filed on August 5, 2021.
What changed
The USPTO issued Patent US12599358B2 for methods and systems enabling ultrasound imaging in the presence of relative motion between a body and an imaging probe. The patent describes obtaining Eulerian-based ultrasound images acquired at successive times, computing Lagrangian coordinates for the body using that data, and forming Lagrangian-based ultrasound images in the Lagrangian coordinate system. This represents a technical advancement in motion-compensated ultrasound imaging.
For medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers utilizing ultrasound imaging systems, this patent grants exclusive rights to the described motion imaging technology. Patent grants do not create immediate compliance obligations but establish enforceable intellectual property rights that may affect future product development and licensing decisions in diagnostic ultrasound technology.

Abstract
There is provided a method and a system for ultrasound imaging in presence of relative motion between a body and an imaging probe. A plurality of Eulerian-based ultrasound images of the body acquired at successive times T with the imaging probe is obtained. Lagrangian coordinates for the body are computed using data from the Eulerian-based ultrasound images. Lagrangian-based ultrasound images of the body are formed by providing the data from the Eulerian-based ultrasound images in the Lagrangian coordinate system.
