MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617030360 A) filed by Maui Imaging, Inc. on March 13, 2026, for Imaging Skull, Bone, And Lung Imaging Using Multiple Aperture Ultrasound Imaging.
Inventors include Atmeh, Elias M.; Smith, David M.; and Specht, David J..
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: A diagnostic ultrasound imaging method is provided, that can include transmitting an omni-directional unfocused ultrasound waveform into a target region with a transmit aperture of a multiple aperture ultrasound imaging probe; receiving ultrasound echoes from the target region with a plurality of receive apertures of the multiple aperture ultrasound imaging probe; with a processor of the multiple aperture ultrasound imaging probe, optimizing a contrast between voxels or pixels in a region of interest within the target region by adjusting at least one of a frequency, a voltage level, and an acoustic impedance of the received echoes; with the processor, beamforming the voxels or pixels in the region of interest with the adjusted frequency, voltage level, and/or acoustic impedance to obtain diagnostic 2D or 3D medical images; and presenting the diagnostic 2D or 3D medical images on a display.
