ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound display system enables a user to rapidly identify a region of interest (ROI) in a displayed ultrasound image without having to trace the outline of the ROI. The system includes a display and a processor for causing the display to manifest an ultrasound image. A user entry device enables a user to initiate a "quick ROI" identification procedure which causes the processor to superimpose a closed geometric figure on a displayed ultrasound image. The user entry device further enables adjustment of the closed geometric figure to substantially enclose the ROI. A user selection input device, in response to user actuation, causes the processor to identify the boundary of the ROI that lies within the vicinity of an edge of the closed geometric figure and further enables the processor to carry out calculations with respect to the determined ROI boundary.
