Abstract
Aspects of the technology described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for enable a user to manually modify an input to a calculation performed based at least in part on an ultrasound image. In some embodiments, manually modifying the input comprises manually modifying a trace on the image. In some embodiments, manually modifying the input comprises manually selecting an ultrasound image from a series of ultrasound images on which a calculation is to be performed.
Claims11
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processing device configured to:
- enable a user to manually modify an input to a calculation performed based at least in part on an ultrasound image, wherein the input comprises a selection of an end-diastolic ultrasound image or an end-systolic ultrasound image from a series of ultrasound images, and
- wherein the processing device is configured, when enabling the user to manually modify the input to the calculation, to:
- display the series of ultrasound images or a portion thereof and an indicator positioned on a first ultrasound image from the series;
- in response to detecting a scrolling movement, modify the indicator to be positioned on a second ultrasound image from the series;
- in response to receiving a selection from the user, select the second ultrasound image from the series of ultrasound images as one of the end-diastolic ultrasound image or the end-systolic ultrasound image;
- and
- perform the calculation based on the second ultrasound image.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a processing device configured to:
- enable a user to manually modify an input to a calculation performed based at least in part on an ultrasound image, wherein the input comprises definition of a trace on the ultrasound image and wherein the processing device is configured, when enabling the user to manually modify the input to the calculation, to:
- display the ultrasound image, the trace superimposed on the ultrasound image, and an icon adjacent to the trace;
- in response to detecting a dragging movement that begins on or within a threshold distance of the icon, scale the trace by an amount corresponding to a component of a distance covered by the dragging movement along a long axis of the trace, and rotate the trace by an amount corresponding to a component of the distance covered by the dragging movement perpendicular to the long axis of the trace;
- and
- perform the calculation based on the manually modified trace.
