Glossary:

Display

All the information visible on the system's monitor, including ultrasound images, measurements,

 

system state, patient information, etc.

 

Documentation

Everything produced as a result of an ultrasound exam: prints, film, VCR tape, M/O disk of

 

images, network archive of images, all measurements and calculations, image annotations, and

 

the sonographer's or physician's exam-related comments.

ECG

Electrocardiogram. The system displays a live ECG waveform if one is connected and activated.

Highlight

An indication that a control is active. Text on a CRT screen is highlighted by displaying it in

 

reverse video (light-on-dark, or dark-on-light, whichever is the reverse of the normal display).

 

Keys on the keyboard are highlighted by lighting an adjacent LED. Softkeys are highlighted by

 

changing the value associated with them.

Hospital informa-

The computer databases and networks of an institution.

tion system

 

Image

An ultrasound view that is either actively displayed or archived. An image can be represented by

 

a single frame, a continuous loop, a 3D volume set, a Doppler spectral trace, Doppler audio, an

 

ECG waveform, etc.

Imaging mode

2D, Color, Angio, Mmode, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, 3D, etc.

Institution

A hospital, lab, clinic, or office.

Live imaging mode

Any unfrozen system mode that includes a two-dimensional image being created in real-time

 

(that is, not retrieved from VCR tape, Cine Loop memory, etc.).
