An application interface provides an environment in which applications may discover and attach to data streams. The interface facilitates efficient sharing and management of acquired data through arbitration and parallel processing: allowing multiple applications to work in parallel on the same or different data streams to implement independent or co-dependent functionality. Further, the interface acts as a bridge between system address spaces allowing applications to execute in their own address space separate from the resource intensive acquisition processes. The interface also provides an environment for prototyping applications where a user may allocate data streams to an application and debug the application's execution. Because the interface provides a standardized/normalized interface to the acquired image data, applications may be developed independent of the imaging system's implementation details, data formats and protocols.

Advanced application framework system and method for use with a diagnostic medical ultrasound streaming application

An intelligent ultrasound examination storage system is disclosed, which permits a sonographer to focus entirely on the examination process while the system analyses image data and marks events of interest for post-examination review or storage.

Intelligent ultrasound examination storage system

The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for facilitating selection of stored medical images. In one preferred embodiment, a plurality of medical images are stored, and, for each medical image, the settings of at least one acquisition time control used to create the image are also stored. During image review, a user selects a set of acquisition time control settings, and a set of medical images is automatically selected from the stored images based on the selected set of acquisition time control settings. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and each of the preferred embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.
