Ultrasound imaging system parameter optimization via fuzzy logic

An ultrasound system comprising:

• a plurality of ultrasound image generating subsystems configured to generate an ultrasound image, the plurality of ultrasound image generating subsystems including a transmitter subsystem, a receiver subsystem, and an image processing subsystem;
• and
• a fuzzy logic controller communicatively coupled with at least one of the plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems, the fuzzy logic controller including a fuzzy logic program stored in a computer readable storage medium;
• wherein the fuzzy logic program includes code for receiving, from at least one of the plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems, input data including at least one of pixel image data and data for generating pixel image data;
• code for processing the input data using a set of inference rules to produce fuzzy output;
• and code for converting the fuzzy output into numerical values or system states for controlling at least one of the transmit subsystem and the receiver subsystem that generate the pixel image data.

A method of processing data for generating an ultrasound image, the method comprising:

• receiving, from at least one of a plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems which include a transmitter subsystem, a receiver subsystem, and an image processing subsystem, input data including at least one of pixel image data and data for generating pixel image data;
• processing the input data using a set of inference rules to produce fuzzy output;
• and
• converting the fuzzy output into numerical values or system states for controlling at least one of the transmit subsystem and the receiver subsystem that generate the pixel image data.
