AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Errors can result if the user does not remember correctly what information has already been entered and / or the order in which it was entered
Additionally, these user interfaces are difficult to navigate and provide no indication of different user inputs
These known systems can thus result in increased processing time and reduced workflow or inspection throughput

Abstract

A user interface and method for displaying information in connection with an ultrasound system are provided. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method for automatically displaying information during medical image processing is provided. The method includes determining an image view for a displayed image generated from acquired scan data and determining text to display in connection with a marker displayed on the displayed image based on the determined image view. The text indicates a region of the displayed image to identify with the marker. The method further includes displaying automatically the determined text in connection with the marker on the displayed image.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to medical imaging systems, and more specifically, relate to medical imaging systems with functions of helping users process medical image data. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound systems are used in a variety of applications and by individuals of various skill levels. In many exams, the operator of the ultrasound system must provide input so that the system can properly process the information for later analysis. For example, the user must select certain areas or certain points on the image to process the data of the acquired image. Users often have to keep track of the various inputs to ensure that selections are made correctly, such as in the correct order, and / or to ensure that all inputs required for a particular processing operation are entered. If the user input is not entered correctly or completely, subsequent processing of the data may be incorrect, which may lead to analytical err...
