Claim 17:
18. A portable touchscreen actuated cart mounted ultrasound imaging system, comprising:
a touch screen display tablet device mounted on a cart having a touch screen display with a graphical user interface for selecting an ultrasound imaging procedure to be performed with the cart mounted ultrasound imaging system wherein at least one processor in the tablet display device is responsive to touch actuating gestures to perform at least one of a cardiac imaging procedure, a split screen 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 split screen imaging procedure simultaneously displays a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image in an image display area on the touch screen display, and wherein the needle visualization procedure images a needle in response to a second gesture input detected on the touch screen display; and
a plurality of transducer probes connectable to the cart mounted ultrasound system, each transducer probe having at least one transducer array that performs at least one imaging operation using an ultrasound beamformer processing circuit that communicates with the at least one transducer array, the at least one imaging operation conducted using instructions received from an ultrasound imaging system controller, wherein the graphical user interface is touch actuated to include the image display area that displays at least one ultrasound image using one or more touch selected transducer probes, wherein one or more imaging operations include selecting an imaging depth in response to a further gesture input detected on the touch screen display and generating at least one image of a region of interest at the selected depth based on a result of the one or more imaging operations, the at least one generated image displayable on the image display area of the touch screen display.
