ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented user interface for generating an echocardiographic report includes a patient menu screen from which a user can select an existing report to modify or create a new report. After the user selects a patient, the first echocardiographic data screen, which includes a plurality of data entry windows for entering echocardiographic data, appears. At least one data entry window displays echocardiographic data for two paired cardiac structures and includes a button for selecting a desired one of the paired cardiac structures. The user selects whether data will be entered for one or the other of the paired cardiac structures, then inputs patient data through a series of buttons. Pairing of the cardiac structures saves on display real estate and takes advantage of commonality between the pairs. Paired cardiac structures include the left ventricle and right ventricle, the left atrium and right atrium, the aorta and pulmonary artery, mitral and tricuspid valve, and the aortic and pulmonary valve. Additionally, each data entry window includes means for displaying semi-quantitative echocardiographic data pertaining to a cardiac structure, from normal to markedly abnormal. Previous echocardiographic report data, if available, may be displayed for comparison with the current data. Upon completion of all data entries, an echocardiographic report is generated.
