SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURE AND DISPLAY OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND ULTRASOUND DATA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for capturing and displaying blood pressure and ultrasound data.SOLUTION: An ultrasound imaging system comprises: a processing system 131; and an ultrasound imaging probe 106 that is configured to transmit ultrasound energy into a selected portion of a subject and to receive echoes from the portion, and to transmit data signals representative of the echoes to the processing system. The system further comprises a blood pressure sensor 104 that is configured to measure the blood pressure of the subject and to transmit data signals representative of the blood pressure to the processing system 131. The processing system can process the received ultrasound data signals to generate an ultrasound image, and process the received blood pressure data signals to generate a blood pressure trace. The processing system can also display the ultrasound image and blood pressure trace in a display image in which portions of the ultrasound image are displayed in temporal synchrony with portions of the blood pressure trace.
