Abstract

The present embodiments relate generally to ultrasound imaging systems and methods that provide, upon receipt of input of a tap gesture at a location directly on the ultrasound image feed on the touchscreen display, such location indicating on the post scan converted ultrasound image frame a desired focal adjustment point, the processor causes the ultrasound imaging system to i) revert the post scan converted ultrasound image frame comprising the location of the desired focal adjustment point, by way of the cartesian co-ordinates, to its corresponding pre-scan raw ultrasound data frame; ii) calculate, on the pre-scan raw ultrasound data frame, the location of the desired focal adjustment point, by way of polar co-ordinates of the desired focal adjustment point; and iii) adjust at least one beamformer parameter of ultrasound signals being used to transmit and receive the ultrasound image to focus at the desired focal adjustment point, based upon the polar coordinates.
