Methods and systems for controlling a diagnostic medical imaging display interface

An ultrasound imaging system comprising:

• an ultrasound probe configured to acquire ultrasound data from a region of interest;
• a display;
• and
• a controller circuit comprising at least one processor operably coupled to the ultrasound probe and the display, the controller circuit configured to:
• receive ultrasound image data from the ultrasound probe;
• determine one or more image characteristics of the ultrasound image data;
• adjust one or more image display settings corresponding to a first interface component based on the one or more image characteristics;
• and
• generate a display signal for the display corresponding to the first interface component, the first interface component displayed based on the one or more image display settings from the adjusting operation.

A tangible and non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more computer software modules configured to direct one or more processors to:

• receive medical image data;
• determine one or more image characteristics of the medical image data;
• adjust one or more image display settings corresponding to a first interface component based on the one or more image characteristics;
• and
• generate a display signal for a display corresponding to a medical image shown concurrently with the first interface component, the first interface component displayed based on the one or more image display settings from the adjusting operation, wherein the medical image is based on the medical image data.
