SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERFACING WITH AN ULTRASOUND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method performed by a medical imaging system comprising a touch screen display, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- display a primary imaging area in a first area of the touch screen display, the primary imaging area being configured to display images captured by the medical imaging system;
display a touchpad in a second area of the touch screen display separate from the first area, the touchpad being configured to receive input from a user; and
control the operation of the medical imaging system based, at least in part, on input received from the user using the touchpad.

Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling a user to interact with a medical imaging system using a touch screen display are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a primary imaging area displaying images captured by the medical imaging system may be displayed in a first area of the touch screen display. A touchpad configured to receive input from a user may be displayed in a second area of the touch screen display that is different than the first area. Input provided by the user using the touchpad display may be used to control and/or interact with the medical imaging system. By utilizing a touchpad displayed separate from the primary imaging area, a user may precisely position a cursor, annotation, and/or measurement marker point within the primary imaging area without obscuring the primary imaging area with their body.
