In an embodiment of the subject matter described herein a system is provided. The system includes a portable host system having one or more processors and a memory for storing a plurality of applications. The one or more processors configured to execute programmed instructions of a select application by performing one or more operations, which include obtain a set of frames of 2D ultrasound images, develop a prospect model indicating a likelihood that frames within the set include an organ of interest (OOI), identify primary and secondary reference frames from the set of the frames based on the prospect model, determine a characteristic of interest in the primary reference frame, select a candidate shape for the OOI based on the character of interest in the primary reference frame, and adjust the candidate shape based on the secondary reference frames to form a resultant shape for the OOI.

Method and system for measuring a volume of an organ of interest

A medical device customization system and method comprising medical device that receives signals from a biological probe having an operational parameter and that stores data based on the signals in a memory. The medical device receives a custom application and establishes a virtual machine to run the custom application.

Medical device customization system

An ultrasound probe comprises a body terminating at a nose, an ultrasound transducer adjacent the nose and facing a first direction, and a touchpad zone to detect a sliding gesture of a first digit. The first touchpad zone extends along a first surface facing a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

Ultrasound probe

An anatomic structure is detected based on a medical diagnostic imaging data set. The anatomic structure comprises at least two different types of tissue. At least one anatomic landmark is identified within the data set, the data set is overlaid with a contour template, and a search region of the data set surrounding the contour template is scanned to identify transition points associated with a predefined characteristic of the anatomic structure.

Method and apparatus for detecting anatomic structures

A medical imaging system includes image acquisition circuitry, a display, and a processor coupled to the image acquisition circuitry and the display. In addition, a memory is coupled to the processor and stores a user interface program that causes the processor to display a physiological marker on the display, receive a control input directed to the physiological marker; and adjust the physiological marker in response to the control input.
