DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING DATA RELATING TO A CARDIAC MEDICAL CONDITION
First Claim
1. A medical diagnostic system comprising:
- an electrocardiograph (ECG) device including at least one electrode that is configured to obtain electrical data for a heart of a patient;
an ultrasound imaging device including an ultrasound probe that is configured to obtain ultrasound data of the heart of the patient; and
a user interface comprising a display, the user interface configured to receive operator inputs from an operator of the diagnostic system, wherein the user interface is configured to show on the display a plurality of different screens to the operator during a workflow, the screens including user-selectable elements that are configured to be activated by the operator during the workflow, wherein the user interface is configured to display the different screens to guide the operator through the workflow to obtain the electrical data and the ultrasound data, the user interface also configured to guide the operator to obtain structural measurements of the heart based on the ultrasound data.

Abstract
A medical diagnostic system is provided that includes an electrocardiograph (ECG) device and an ultrasound imaging device. The diagnostic system also includes a user interface having a display. The user interface is configured to receive operator inputs from an operator of the diagnostic system, wherein the user interface is configured to show on the display a plurality of different screens to the operator during a workflow. The screens include user-selectable elements that are configured to be activated by the operator during the workflow. The user interface is configured to display the different screens to the operator in a predetermined manner to guide the operator through the workflow to obtain an electrocardiogram of the heart of the patient and an ultrasound image of the heart. The user interface also configured to guide the operator to obtain structural measurements of the heart based on the ultrasound image.

8. A medical diagnostic system comprising:
-
an ultrasound imaging device including an ultrasound probe that is configured to obtain ultrasound data of a heart of a patient; a cardiac cycle analyzer configured to analyze the ultrasound data to automatically identify a cardiac-cycle image from a set of ultrasound images based on the ultrasound data, wherein the cardiac-cycle image includes the heart at a predetermined cardiac-cycle event; a measurement module configured to analyze the cardiac-cycle image and automatically position a reference object relative to at least one anatomical structure of the heart in the cardiac-cycle image; and a user interface comprising a display configured to display the reference object and the cardiac-cycle image, wherein the user interface is configured to receive operator inputs to at least one of (a) designate, from the set of ultrasound images, a different ultrasound image as the cardiac-cycle image or (b) re-position the reference object relative to the at least one anatomical structure. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of obtaining measurements of a heart of a patient, the method comprising:
-
automatically identifying a cardiac-cycle image from a set of ultrasound images, wherein the cardiac-cycle image includes the heart at a predetermined cardiac-cycle event; displaying the cardiac-cycle image to an operator using a user interface display; automatically positioning a reference object relative to at least one anatomical structure of the heart in the cardiac-cycle image, the reference object being positioned to obtain designated measurements of the heart; receiving operator inputs from the operator to at least one of (a) designate, from the set of ultrasound images, a different ultrasound image as the cardiac-cycle image or (b) re-position the reference object relative to the at least one anatomical structure; and determining at least one measurement of the heart using the reference object and the cardiac-cycle image. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
