Abstract
A system and method for enhancing color flow Doppler and pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound images acquired based on clinically-specific profiles of imaging parameters is provided. The method includes presenting selectable clinical objects at a display. Each of the selectable clinical objects may be associated with color flow Doppler and pulsed wave Doppler profiles. Each of the profiles may comprise imaging parameters for the associated clinical object. The method includes receiving a selection of one of the selectable clinical objects and retrieving the color flow Doppler and pulsed wave Doppler profiles associated with the selected clinical object. The method includes acquiring and presenting color flow Doppler ultrasound data based on the imaging parameters of the retrieved color flow Doppler profile. The method includes initiating a pulsed wave Doppler imaging mode, and acquiring and presenting pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound data based on the imaging parameters of the retrieved pulsed wave Doppler profile.
