A method includes receiving a selection of an examination template including a hierarchical examination workflow and baseline configuration parameters corresponding to the examination template, wherein the examination template is associated with an anatomical area; automatically configuring an imaging system with the baseline configuration parameters from the examination template; capturing image data of a patient using the imaging system according to the hierarchical examination workflow; storing the image data on a storage system, such that the image data is associated with the anatomical area; displaying an anatomical model of a plurality of anatomical areas of the patient; and displaying thumbnails of the image data on respective areas of the anatomical model corresponding to anatomical areas of the patient where the image data was captured by the imaging system.

Systems and methods for contextual imaging workflow

A hierarchical workflow is configured to associate examination information captured using an imaging platform with contextual metadata. The examination information may include ultrasound image data, which may be associated with annotations, measurements, pathology, body markers, and/or the like. The hierarchical workflow may comprise templates associated with respective anatomical regions, locations, volumes, and/or surfaces. A template may define configuration data to automatically adapt the imaging platform to capture imaging data in the corresponding anatomical region. The template may further include guidance information for the operator, including processing steps for capturing relevant examination information. Additional examination information may be captured and included in the hierarchical workflow.
