System and method for removing, trimming and bookmarking images of an ultrasound image sequence

摘要

A system and method are provided for simplifying off-line quantification of ultrasound images by displaying a graphical user interface showing a real-time ultrasound image for enabling a user to freeze the real-time ultrasound image to display an image sequence capable of being modified, i.e., by removing and/or trimming images thereof, and played back by the user. The system and method of the present invention are further capable of simplifying off-line quantification of ultrasound images by accessing and displaying via the graphical user interface a tagging system having a corresponding identification tag for each ultrasound image of the image sequence for selecting and bookmarking at least one image of the image sequence for easily accessing the image in the future. The system and method of the present invention are embodied by software modules each having a series of programmable instructions capable of being executed by a processor for performing their respective functions.
