ABSTRACT:
A system for recording and displaying ultrasound images. The system includes a database server, an ultrasound image capture station and an ultrasound image review station. The ultrasound images are captured from an analog video signal stream output by an ultrasound machine and converted into compressed digital data preferably in MPEG format. The compressed digital data is archived to a compact disc recordable medium for permanent storage. The ultrasound images may be annotated by a sonographer as they are captured. The sonographer selects an annotation icon from a predefined list of icons to highlight points of interest in an ultrasound scan. The system also includes a demographic data module for tracking captured ultrasound scans, and a clinical data module for reporting ultrasound findings and diagnoses. The advantages include reduced storage requirements because of the elimination of video tape; more accurate tracking of ultrasound scans; easier review due to perfect still frames, random access, annotated highlights and zoom capability; faster more accurate reporting of findings and diagnosis; and, the ability to share ultrasound images over local and wide area networks.
