This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223609 titled 'ULTRASOUND IMAGING SYSTEM WITH TISSUE SPECIFIC PRESETS FOR DIAGNOSTIC EXAMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an ultrasound system that allows users to select specific presets for different types of diagnostic exams.

  • Users can optimize the system for different types of exams by selecting tissue specific presets.
  • Once an exam type is selected and the exam begins, users can adjust imaging and workflow controls to better visualize the target anatomy.
  • Users have the option to maintain the imaging and workflow settings when changing tissue specific presets, or to reset them to default values.


Original Abstract Submitted

An ultrasound system has user selectable tissue specific presets by which a user can condition the ultrasound system to be optimized for specific types of diagnostic exams. After an exam type has been selected and the exam commenced, a user manipulates imaging and workflow controls to better visualize the target anatomy. The user has the choice of setting up the system so that imaging and workflow settings are maintained when the tissue specific presets are changed, or to reset the imaging and workflow settings to default values upon a change of the tissue specific presets.
