ULTRASOUND SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF ULTRASOUND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240099701 titled 'ULTRASOUND SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF ULTRASOUND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an ultrasound system and control method that limits the scanning time of an examination site using an electronic ticket with an upper limit time.

  • Ticket acquisition unit acquires electronic ticket with upper limit time for scanning.
  • Scanning control unit limits scanning time to upper limit time in electronic ticket.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and home healthcare settings.

Problems Solved

This technology helps ensure that patients can safely scan their examination site within a specified time limit, reducing the risk of overexposure to ultrasound waves.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved patient safety, convenience for at-home scanning, and more efficient use of ultrasound resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include medical device manufacturing, healthcare technology companies, and telemedicine service providers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be ultrasound systems with preset scanning time limits, but the use of electronic tickets with specific time constraints for scanning may be a novel approach.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the ultrasound system communicate with the electronic ticket to enforce the scanning time limit? 2. Are there any potential privacy or security concerns with using electronic tickets for controlling ultrasound scanning time?


Original Abstract Submitted

in an ultrasound system and a control method of the ultrasound system according to the embodiment of the present invention, a ticket acquisition unit acquires an electronic ticket including information on an upper limit time for scanning an examination site using an ultrasound probe, and a scanning control unit controls a scanning time from start to end of the scanning to be limited to the upper limit time included in the electronic ticket. accordingly, a patient can scan the examination site safely at home or the like.
