Abstract:

A system and method for providing an ultrasound recording environment is provided. Generally, the system contains an ultrasound machine and an ultrasound recording unit. The ultrasound recording unit contains a memory and a processor that is configured by the memory to perform the steps of: beginning recording of an entire ultrasound feed after an initiation to record; ending the recording, thereby providing a recorded ultrasound file; and filtering the recorded ultrasound file in accordance with a predefined region, thereby resulting in a filtered ultrasound file defined by the predefined region. Referring to the method, the method can be broadly summarized by the following steps: configuring the ultrasound recording unit; displaying a live ultrasound feed after being initiated to record by a user; beginning recording of the entire ultrasound feed after the initiation to record; ending the recording, thereby providing a recorded ultrasound file; and filtering the recorded ultrasound file in accordance with a predefined region defined during the configuration step, thereby resulting in a filtered ultrasound file defined by the predefined region.
