ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SYSTEM WITH DIGITAL VIDEO IMAGE MARKING

摘要

A digital video recorder (200) is provided which provides digital storage of realtime ultrasonic image sequences, replacing the conventional VCR with a recorder which does not degrade digital ultrasound images by analog conversion and recording. The digital video recorder (200) includes a user control which enables a user to mark real time images as they are acquired or as they are being reviewed from storage. The user can skip directly from one marked image to another, or from one marked cardiac cycle to another.
