More Information
Summary:An ultrasound patch probe having ultrasound image acquisition functionality is selectively placed on a patient in communication range of an ultrasound imaging system. A signal processor of the ultrasound imaging system detects a presence of the ultrasound patch probe to establish a connection between the ultrasound patch probe and the ultrasound imaging system. The signal processor assigns the detected ultrasound patch probe to one or both of a patient and an anatomy of the patient. The signal processor maps the ultrasound patch probe to ultrasound image routing parameters based on the assignment. The signal processor routes ultrasound image data acquired by the ultrasound patch probe to one or both of a display area of a display system for presentation of the acquired ultrasound image data and a storage location of a data storage medium for storing the acquired ultrasound image data based on the ultrasound image routing parameters.
