ABSTRACT:
A method and system for controlling an ultrasound system are provided. The method includes processing image data received from an ultrasound system to obtain a time gain compensation correction curve, wherein the image data is internally time gain compensated. The method further includes processing the image data using the time gain compensation correction curve and user inputs parameters. The user input parameters include at least one of a user defined time gain compensation parameter and a user defined dynamic range parameter.
