Abstract

The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic equipment 1 which projects ultrasonic signals into a patient, and which generates an ultrasonic image on the basis of reflection echoes from within the patient. The ultrasonic diagnostic equipment 1 comprises a workflow system 21 which controls equipment operations including the generation of the ultrasonic image, in accordance with a workflow protocol based on the examination procedure of steps created beforehand, and a visual workflow editor 22 which is so constructed as to edit the workflow protocol visually with icons on a screen. Owing to the configuration, the creation of the workflow protocol is facilitated, chances for the utilization of the workflow system are expanded, and even users, such as beginners, who are slightly skilled in the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment and have experienced operations little, are permitted to master the operating method of the equipment promptly and to operate the equipment more easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic device that uses ultrasonic waves to describe the condition of a patient's internal organs or blood flow, thereby inspecting and diagnosing internal organs or blood flow, a workflow system (also called "IASSIT: Intelligent Assistance System") ), wherein the workflow of expressing the inspection program is defined as a flow consisting of a plurality of items to be executed (also referred to as "functional units" or "activities") that can be executed by the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment ( Also referred to as "workflow protocol") to control the operation of the ultrasonic device during examination according to the workflow protocol, and a workflow editing system for visual editing on the screen of the ultrasonic diagnostic device or an external computer and generate a workflow protocol for the workflow system. Background technique [0002] An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is an apparatus in wh...
