Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasound system for imaging a volumetric region comprising a region of interest (ROI). The system comprises a probe; an ultrasound wave controlling unit adapted to control ultrasound wave transmission and provide ultrasound image data of the volumetric region; an image processor; and a ROI identifier, which is adapted to generate identification data indicating the ROI within the volumetric region; wherein the ultrasound wave transmission is configurable by a plurality of use cases in response to respective identifiers of said use cases, each use case being associated with a particular imaging procedure and comprising an anatomical model for said imaging procedure; and wherein the ROI identifier is configurable by the respective anatomical models of said use cases. A method of configuring such an ultrasound system is also disclosed.
