US Patent Issued to Siemens Medical Solutions USA on May 5 for "Fat fraction estimation from tissue non-linear response with ultrasound medical imaging" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,616,441, issued on May 5, was assigned to Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc. (Malvern, Pa.).

"Fat fraction estimation from tissue non-linear response with ultrasound medical imaging" was invented by Yassin Labyed (Carlsbad, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "For tissue property (e.g., fat fraction) estimation, ultrasound is used to measure non-linearity response of tissue (e.g., liver tissue). The fat fraction is estimated from the measured non-linearity response. The estimated fat fraction may be more accurate due to estimation from the measured tissue non-linearity response. By combining with other ultrasound-based measurements, such ...
