Abstract
In ultrasonic diagnostic equipment processing signals echo-reflected from ultrasonic pulses beamed into a patient and providing composite display of patient-related diagnostic information including organic information, the comprehensive diagnostic information is discretely stored as various imaging data into separate display memories, and is furthermore externally storable through VTR recording such that the information can be retrieved for regeneration. A selector selects between either real-time imaging derived from the display memories, or regeneration imaging obtained from a pseudo-video combined signal stored in the VTR, for input to a color palette as an imaging processor which color encodes and combines data for composite imaging. Separate imaging modification processes are post real-time executable upon the discretely regenerated imaging data retrieved from the VTR for altered display on a monitor of the equipment.
