SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING HEMODYNAMIC AND IMAGING EXAMINATIONS
First Claim
1. An integrated medical system, comprising:
- a hemodynamic system configured to obtain hemodynamic data about a patient;
an imaging system configured to obtain imaging data about the patient; and
a processor configured to receive the hemodynamic data and the imaging data and combine them together to generate a single report integrating the hemodynamic data and the imaging data.

Abstract
Hemodynamic data and imaging data are obtained about a patient, and the data is combined to generate a single report integrating same. While a hemodynamic system obtains the hemodynamic data, an imaging system obtains the imaging data. Preferably, the report confirms the absence or presence (and/or severity) of peripheral arterial disease, including quantitative data. The hemodynamic system and the imaging system can communicate directly, indirectly, and/or wirelessly. They may be contained within a common enclosure and/or integrated into a single apparatus. Either or both of the hemodynamic system and/or the imaging system can also be configured to measure the blood pressure of the patient. Preferably, the imaging system is an ultrasound imaging system, and improved workflows for diagnosing peripheral arterial disease result.
