Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system comprises a display for displaying a received ultrasound image. A user interface is provided for receiving user commands for controlling the ultrasound imaging process, and it receives a user input which identifies a point or region of the displayed ultrasound image. An image depth is determined which is associated with the identified point or region and the imaging process is controlled to tailor the imaging to the identified point or region.
