Abstract

See full text

A computerized ultrasound imager is programmed with software that enables a 'Live Imaging' mode. 'Live Imaging' refers to the ability to keep a network association (between the imager and a remote device) open throughout the course of an examination of a patient. Each time the operator presses a Print/Store button configured to a storage device, the frozen image will be automatically sent to the remote device via the open connection. The 'Live Imaging' association is closed when the system operator presses an 'End Exam' button on the keyboard. In the case where the remote device is a printer configured to receive multi-image film sessions, pressing the 'End Exam' button also forces the transfer of any partially filled film session from the imager to the printer.
