Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided with an analysis package by which measurements and calculations can be made using ultrasonic image data. The analysis package includes the ability for a user to define custom exam protocols, custom measurements or custom calculations.
Claims31
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system comprising:
- an ultrasound image display for displaying an ultrasound image;
- and
- an analysis package, stored on a computer readable medium and operatively connected to said image display, which provides the ability to make image measurements, said analysis package being responsive to an analysis package control by which custom measurements can be developed for said analysis package by a user.
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system comprising:
- an ultrasound image display for displaying an ultrasound image;
- and
- an analysis package, stored on a computer readable medium and operatively connected to said image display, which provides the ability to perform ultrasonic exam analysis protocols for a specified clinical area, said analysis package being responsive to an analysis package control by which custom exam analysis protocols for a specified clinical area can be developed for said analysis package by a user.
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system comprising:
- an ultrasound image display for displaying an ultrasound image;
- and
- an analysis package, stored on a computer readable medium and operatively connected to said image display, which provides the ability to make calculations based upon ultrasonic image data, said analysis package being responsive to an analysis package control by which custom calculations can be developed for said analysis package by a user.
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system comprising:
- an ultrasound image display for displaying an ultrasound image derived from three dimensional ultrasonic image information;
- and
- an analysis package, stored on a computer readable medium and operatively connected to said image display, which provides the ability to make at least one of image measurements and calculations, said analysis package being responsive to an analysis package control by which at least one of custom measurements and calculations on three dimensional image information can be developed for said analysis package by a user.
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system comprising:
- an ultrasound image display for displaying an ultrasound image;
- an analysis package, stored on a computer readable medium and operatively connected to said image display and responsive to an analysis package control, which provides the ability to make at least one of custom measurements and custom calculations developed by a user;
- a data file which stores parameters of at least one of custom measurements and custom calculations;
- and
- an external connection by which said parameters can be transferred to another ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system, whereby said custom measurements and calculations developed on one ultrasound system can be installed in another ultrasound system.
