STORAGE AND REVIEW OF SYNCHRONISED PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA AND ULTRASOUND IMAGES PHYSIOLOGY WORKSTATIONS

摘要

A system and device for obtaining and reviewing patient data and ultrasound images from a patient such that the patient data and ultrasound images can be viewed simultaneously. The ultrasound images are obtained by an ultrasound system in real-time during a procedure carried out on the patient. The physiology workstation receives patient data as well as the ultrasound images and stores both the patient data and the ultrasound images within the physiological recording system. The ultrasound images and patient data are also communicated to a central data storage device where the ultrasound images and patient data are stored and can be accessed by a remotely located reviewing station. A display contained on the physiology workstation allows both the ultrasound images and the patient data to be viewed at the physiology workstation. Preferably, the patient data and the ultrasound images include common, time -based synchronization data obtained from a synchronization signal such that the ultrasound images and patient data can be time-synchronized during subsequent viewing after the completion of the procedure.
