1. An ultrasound imaging method, comprising:
selecting an imaging procedure wherein at least one processor in a tablet display housing of a battery powered ultrasound imaging system mounted on a cart that is configured to perform at least one of a cardiac imaging procedure and a needle visualization procedure, wherein the cardiac imaging procedure measures an ejection fraction value in response to a first gesture input detected on a touch screen display within the tablet display housing wherein the touch screen display presents a graphical user interface to a user including an ultrasound image display area and a touch gesture actuated menu selection area, the at least one processor configured to actuate split screen operation of the ultrasound image display area in response to a second gesture input on the touchscreen display and wherein the needle visualization procedure images a needle in response to a third gesture input detected on the touch screen display; and
actuating one or more imaging operations of an ultrasound beamformer processing circuit that receives image signals from a transducer array in a transducer probe housing, the one or more imaging operations conducted using instructions received from the at least one processor, the touch screen display configured to display a beamformed ultrasound image in the ultrasound image display area, at least one of the imaging operations including selecting an imaging depth in response to a further gesture input detected on the touch screen display and generating an image of a region of interest at the selected depth based on a result of the at least one imaging operation, wherein at least one beamformed ultrasound image is displayable on the image display area of the touch screen display.
