1. A method of ultrasound imaging comprising:
initiating a live ultrasound scanning session;
acquiring and saving a first sequence of images in a volatile memory during the live ultrasound scanning session;
receiving a store command while in a retrospective image capture mode during the live ultrasound scanning session;
detecting, with a processor, that the first sequence of images does not meet a length threshold and, in response to said detecting that the first sequence of images does not meet the length threshold, automatically continuing to acquire a second sequence of images after said receiving the store command;
detecting, with the processor, that the combination of the first sequence of images and the second sequence of images meets or exceeds the length threshold; and
saving a third sequence of images as a cineloop in a non-volatile memory, wherein the third sequence of images includes both at least a portion of the first sequence of images and at least a portion of the second sequence of images, and wherein the third sequence of images meets or exceeds the length threshold.
