Method and apparatus for performing real-time storage of ultrasound video image information

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for storing digitized video ultrasound images in a digital memory device to enable high quality ultrasound video images to be stored in real-time. The ultrasound image acquisition and video storage system of the present invention comprises an ultrasound image acquisition component and a digital video storage component. The ultrasound image acquisition component logic acquires ultrasound images over a period of time and converts them into digital video images in real-time as the images are acquired. The digital video storage logic obtains the digital video images from the ultrasound image acquisition component and stores the digital video images in a digital storage device in real-time.
