Method and system for providing enhanced color flow doppler and pulsed wave doppler ultrasound images by applying clinically specific flow profiles

An ultrasound system comprising:

• a display system configured to present a plurality of selectable clinical objects, each of the plurality of selectable clinical objects associated with a color flow Doppler profile and a pulsed wave Doppler profile, each of the color flow Doppler profile and the pulsed wave Doppler profile comprising imaging parameters for the associated one of the plurality of selectable clinical objects;
• at least one processor configured to:
• receive a selection of one of the plurality of selectable clinical objects;
• retrieve the color flow Doppler profile and the pulsed wave Doppler profile associated with the selected one of the plurality of selectable clinical objects;
• apply the imaging parameters of the retrieved color flow Doppler profile to acquire and present color flow Doppler ultrasound data at the display system;
• initiate a pulsed wave Doppler imaging mode;
• and
• apply the imaging parameters of the retrieved pulsed wave Doppler profile to acquire and present pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound data at the display system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:

• presenting a plurality of selectable clinical objects at a display system, each of the plurality of selectable clinical objects associated with a color flow Doppler profile and a pulsed wave Doppler profile, each of the color flow Doppler profile and the pulsed wave Doppler profile comprising imaging parameters for the associated one of the plurality of selectable clinical objects;
• retrieving the color flow Doppler profile and the pulsed wave Doppler profile associated with a selected one of the plurality of selectable clinical objects;
• acquiring and presenting, at the display system, color flow Doppler ultrasound data based on the imaging parameters of the retrieved color flow Doppler profile;
• initiating a pulsed wave Doppler imaging mode;
• and
• acquiring and presenting, at the display system, pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound data based on the imaging parameters of the retrieved pulsed wave Doppler profile.
