摘要: A diagnostic medical imaging system is disclosed, such as a ultrasound system, which uses operational rules or an anatomic model of anatomical structure organizational framework for applying anatomy-specific auxiliary/secondary information. After processing the on acquired images associating with images, adapting/fitting to match if necessary, can associate aspects being information, allowing behave it “knows” what scanning. The auxiliary information may be that affect behavior image samples. System then automatically adapted operator prompted make changes.
