Abstract
Systems and methods for performing ultrasound visual protocols to increase the speed and accuracy of examinations. A system can include an ultrasound probe, a storage medium for storing ultrasound visual protocols associated with anatomy to be examined, a storage medium on which a scan map comprising a graphical representation of anatomy being examined for a visual protocol is stored, and a touch-screen image display for displaying on a user interface scan map and visual protocol information, a working ultrasonic image of the anatomy being examined, and selectable thumbnail ultrasound images of the anatomy being examined. The display is responsive to receive, for an object identified in an image, object measurement and location information for a visual protocol, and in response to receiving the such information, to display visual protocol steps, location information of the object on the working image, and measurement information of the object.
