Embodiment Construction

[0010] figure 1 An ultrasound imaging machine constructed in accordance with one embodiment of the technology of the present application is shown. Ultrasound imaging machines may be portable or cart-based and are configured to generate and direct ultrasound waves into the body and to generate images from corresponding echo signals received. Ultrasound system 10 includes one or more programmable processors 20 , a set of user inputs 24 (eg, keypad, buttons, scroll wheel, touch pad, touch screen, etc.), transmit circuitry 26 , and receive circuitry 28 . When transmitting an ultrasound signal into the body, the transmit circuit generates timed voltage pulses that are applied through the transmit / receive switch 30 to the piezoelectric transducer element on the probe 32 . Acoustic signals received by the probe 32 are converted by transducer elements into corresponding electrical signals. These electrical signals are routed to receive circuitry 28 through transmit / receive switch 30...

Abstract

An ultrasound imaging system includes a control with which a user can view one or more training materials regarding how to use the system or perform an examination. The training materials are associated with one or more of the operating parameters of the ultrasound system. Upon selecting a help me control, a search is performed for those training materials that are associated with one or more current operating parameters of the ultrasound system. In another aspect, training materials include a record of one or more operating parameters used or described in the content of the training materials. When viewing training material, a user can select a 'show me' control on the ultrasound system, which causes the operating parameters used or described in the training material to be loaded into thecircuitry of the ultrasound machine. The user can then operate the ultrasound imaging system with the same imaging parameters used or described in the training material being viewed.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology of the present application relates to ultrasound imaging systems, and in particular to training systems for ultrasound imaging systems. Background technique [0002] Although advances in technology have made ultrasound imaging machines easier to use, a high degree of operational skill is still required to obtain high-quality images of various regions of interest within a patient's body. Factors such as optimal machine settings and how the probe is held and moved on the patient can all have an impact on the quality of the images produced. [0003] To teach doctors and ultrasound technicians how to get the best images, imaging systems often come with training manuals and video tutorials. Students need to study the manual and watch training videos, then try to reproduce the described checks. These training materials are often viewed on a computer screen or other video monitor that is different from the monitor of the ultrasound machine be...
