Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic control panel, an ultrasonic control system, and an ultrasonic diagnostic device. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of the human-computer interaction of the entire ultrasound system, the ultrasound control panel must be easy to use and flexible. With the diversification of the functions of ultrasound diagnostic equipment, there are more and more buttons. However, the number of buttons cannot be increased indefinitely. Therefore, in addition to fixed function buttons, a control panel must also have custom buttons for users to use, so that users can choose easily. The current designs for custom function buttons mainly include: reserving one or several customizable buttons on the control panel for users to set custom functions in the settings interface. However, reserving multiple custom buttons will lead to a complicated button layout. Moreover, since it is a custom function, after setting the custom function, it is also necessary to record which function the button corresponds to. If there is no recording function, it is difficult for the operator to quickly identify and operate it. Summary of the Invention
