18. A medical imaging system comprising:
-
an imaging transducer assembly configured to emit one or more energy pulses and receive one or more echo signals; and
a computer console coupled to the imaging transducer assembly having a processor and a computer readable medium with a set of instructions to be executed by the processor, said instructions including;
receiving the one or more echo signals, detecting one or more signals that correspond with an abnormality, assigning a unique alert with the abnormality; and
and invoking the unique alert in response to the detection of the one or more signals that correspond with the abnormality. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
