摘要:
An analysis feature of an ultrasonic diagnostic system contains one or more exam protocols which guide a sonographer in carrying out one or more standardized ultrasound exams. During the conduct of an exam protocol template protocol steps are available. The sonographer can augment the standard protocol by selecting one of these template protocol steps and giving it a unique name for the current protocol. The execution of this added step will automatically invoke the diagnostic tools, such as measurements and calculations, which are inherent in the cloned conventional protocol step. In addition, the sonographer can add other diagnostic tools to the added step. The results of the standard and customized protocol steps are automatically recorded in the proper sequence and context of an automatically produced diagnostic report.

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces a spectral Doppler display on which a parameter such as peak or mean velocity is automatically traced. If the user is dissatisfied with the automatically drawn trace (30), the user can manipulate a cursor (88) on the display screen to grab a point (82, 86) on the trace and drag the trace to a new location relative to the spectral display or manually redraw a portion of the trace. In an illustrated embodiment the spectral Doppler trace (80) includes defined key timing points in the heart cycle which can be adjusted by the user in both the velocity and time dimensions of the display. Graphically displayed values and calculations of the display are automatically updated in response to adjustment of the trace.)
摘要:
An ultrasound system performs duplex colorflow and spectral Doppler imaging, with the spectral Doppler interrogation performed at a sample volume location shown on the colorflow image. The colorflow image is displayed in a color box overlaid on a co-registered B mode image. A color box position and steering angle processor analyzes the spatial Doppler data and automatically sets the color box angle and location over a blood vessel for optimal Doppler sensitivity and accuracy. The processor may also automatically set the flow angle correction cursor in alignment with the direction of flow. In a preferred embodiment these optimization adjustments are made automatically and continuously as a user pauses at points for Doppler measurements along a length of the blood vessel.
