Abstract
The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for configuring a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system. In one preferred embodiment, an ultrasound system analyzes patient information from a hospital information system to determine what ultrasound settings are appropriate. The ultrasound system can then automatically configure itself with these settings or can present a plurality of suggested settings to a sonographer for selection. In another preferred embodiment, the ultrasound system uses patient information received from the hospital information system to automatically configure and/or populate a patient demographic worksheet.
