    摘要: The invention relates to an ultrasound system for imaging a volumetric region comprising a region of interest (ROI). The system comprises a probe; an ultrasound wave controlling unit adapted to control ultrasound wave transmission and provide ultrasound image data of the volumetric region; an image processor; and a ROI identifier, which is adapted to generate identification data indicating the ROI within the volumetric region; wherein the ultrasound wave transmission is configurable by a plurality of use cases in response to respective identifiers of said use cases, each use case being associated with a particular imaging procedure and comprising an anatomical model for said imaging procedure; and wherein the ROI identifier is configurable by the respective anatomical models of said use cases. A method of configuring such an ultrasound system is also disclosed.

    摘要: Medical devices, systems and methods are provided. In one embodiments, an intraluminal medical system includes a patient interface module (PIM) configured to selectively communicate with a first intraluminal device or a second intraluminal device different than the first intraluminal device. The first and second intraluminal devices are configured to obtain medical data associated with a body lumen of a patient while positioned within the body lumen. The PIM includes a first connector having a first plurality of pins respectively carrying a plurality of signals. The first intraluminal device includes a second connector configured to engage the first connector and the second intraluminal device includes a third connector configured to engage the first connector. The plurality of signals respectively carried by the first plurality of pins is configured to selectively allow electrical communication between the PIM and the first intraluminal device when the second connector engages the first connector, and between the PIM and the second intraluminal device when the third connector engages the first connector.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a processing device in operative communication with an ultrasound device. The processing device is configured to: receive a user selection of a lung imaging preset option and a user-selected imaging depth for the ultrasound device; define a threshold imaging depth based on a shallow lung imaging mode and a deep lung imaging mode (the threshold imaging depth is between approximately 4 cm and 8 cm); after receiving the user selection of the user-selected imaging depth, compare the user-selected imaging depth with the threshold imaging depth; and automatically configure the ultrasound device to switch between the shallow lung imaging mode and deep lung imaging mode, depending upon a result of the comparison of the user-selected imaging depth with the threshold imaging depth.
