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.

A system for reviewing results of ultrasound examinations provides enhanced control over reviewed images. A review and imaging system receives additional data comprising one or more of additional ultrasound images generated using parameter settings different from those selected by and sonographer and earlier stage ultrasound data. An ultrasound machine may be configured to acquire and make the additional data available to the review and imaging system. The review and imaging system may provide a wide range of control options for obtaining optimized display of images based on the additional data.

Provided are a wireless ultrasound probe and an ultrasound imaging apparatus connected with the wireless ultrasound probe. The wireless ultrasound probe includes: a battery; and a charging terminal connector that is coupled to a power supply terminal of the ultrasound imaging apparatus and receives power from the power supply terminal to charge the battery, wherein the charging terminal connector has a unique shape configured to be physically coupled to the power supply terminal.

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes: a transmitter; a receiver; a Doppler processor that detects a Doppler shift frequency resulting from a blood flow in a subject, based on a reception signal corresponding to a reflected wave from a sample gate position in the subject; and a velocity scale adjuster that adjusts a velocity scale determining a pulse repetition frequency, based on a Doppler waveform corresponding to the Doppler shift frequency during an observation target period. In a case where a recommendation value of the velocity scale calculated based on the Doppler waveform is larger than a critical value of the velocity scale at which a measurement state calculated based on the sample gate position transitions from a non-high-pulse-repetition-frequency state to a high-pulse-repetition-frequency state, the velocity scale adjuster sets the critical value as the velocity scale to be used in measurement.

A medical apparatus according to an example includes: a main body including an inputter configured to receive a user command; a display device positioned to be rotatable on one axis with respect to the main body, and extending along one plane; a locking device limiting a rotation of the display device with respect to the main body when pressure being smaller than first pressure is applied to the display device along a direction that is perpendicular to one surface of the display device; and an attenuator attenuating a vibration of the display device with respect to the main body when pressure being smaller than the first pressure is applied to the display device along the direction that is perpendicular to the one surface of the display device.

An operation target switching apparatus includes: a display part that displays an operation target that a user can select and operate; an operation input part that receives an input of a touch operation on an operation part not dedicated to an instruction for switching selection of the operation target; and a hardware processor that switches the selection of the operation target, in accordance with a mode of the touch operation.

The present technology relates to a display device, a display method, and an ultrasonic diagnostic system capable of providing a realistic ultrasonic diagnostic result. An image corresponding to an image signal obtained from an output signal of an ultrasonic diagnostic device is displayed on a display panel. Moreover, the display panel is vibrated according to a sound vibration signal obtained from the output signal by an actuator disposed on a back surface side of the display panel, whereby sound that is audibly sensed and vibration that is tactilely sensed are output on the display panel. The present technology can be applied to, for example, the ultrasonic diagnostic system or the like that performs inspection using ultrasonic waves.

An ultrasound imaging system is for determining stroke volume and/or cardiac output. The imaging system may include a transducer unit for acquiring ultrasound data of a heart of a subject (or an input for receiving the acquired ultrasound data), and a controller. The controller is adapted to implement a two-step procedure, the first step being an initial assessment step, and the second being an imaging step having two possible modes depending upon the outcome of the assessment. In the initial assessment procedure, it is determined whether regurgitant ventricular flow is present. This is performed using Doppler processing techniques applied to an initial ultrasound data set. If regurgitant flow does not exist, stroke volume is determined using segmentation of 3D ultrasound image data to identify and measure the volume of the left or right ventricle at each of end systole and end-diastole, the difference between them giving a measure of stroke volume. If regurgitant flow does exist, stroke volume is determined using Doppler techniques applied to ultrasound data continuously collected throughout a cardiac cycle.

Provided are a method of displaying a Doppler image and an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus for performing the method. The method includes: obtaining a first Doppler signal where clutter filtering corresponding to each of a plurality of pixels is not performed and a second Doppler signal where clutter filtering corresponding to each of the plurality of pixels is performed; determining a first motion score indicating a degree of flash artifact occurrence by using velocity information of the first Doppler signal; determining a first weight for suppressing flash artifacts of each pixel based on the first motion score and a velocity difference value between the first Doppler signal and the second Doppler signal; generating a first Doppler image of the object by applying the first weight to the second Doppler signal of each pixel; and displaying the first Doppler image of the object.
