Claim One:
1. An ultrasound system comprising: a plurality of ultrasound image generating subsystems configured to generate an ultrasound image, the plurality of ultrasound image generating subsystems including a transmitter subsystem, a receiver subsystem, and an image processing subsystem; and a fuzzy logic controller communicatively coupled with at least one of the plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems; wherein the fuzzy logic controller is configured to receive, from at least one of the plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems, input data including at least one of pixel image data and data for generating pixel image data; wherein the fuzzy logic controller is configured to process the input data using a set of inference rules to produce fuzzy output; wherein the fuzzy logic controller is configured to convert the fuzzy output into numerical values or system states for controlling at least one of the ultrasound image generating subsystems; and wherein the fuzzy logic controller is configured to adaptively adjust at least one system parameter for each of a plurality of imaging modes.
