Estimating the term…
A hand-held ultrasound system includes integrated electronics within an ergonomic housing. The electronics includes control circuitry, beamforming and circuitry transducer drive circuitry. The electronics communicate with a host computer using an industry standard high speed serial bus. The ultrasonic imaging system is operable on a standard, commercially available, user computing device without specific hardware modifications, and is adapted to interface with an external application without modification to the ultrasonic imaging system to allow a user to gather ultrasonic data on a standard user computing device such as a PC, and employ the data so gathered via an independent external application without requiring a custom system, expensive hardware modifications, or system rebuilds. An integrated interface program allows such ultrasonic data to be invoked by a variety of such external applications having access to the integrated interface program via a standard, predetermined platform such as visual basic or c++.
A method of external application integration in an ultrasonic imaging system comprising:
A system for external application integration in an ultrasonic imaging system comprising:
A computer program product for external application integration in an ultrasonic imaging system, the computer program product including a computer usably medium having computer readable code therein and having computer program code, comprising:
A computer data signal for transmitting computer information for external application integration in an ultrasonic imaging system, the computer data signal resident on a computer usable medium having computer readable code therein including program code comprising:
