    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for imaging system user interfaces. In one embodiment, a method comprises displaying, via a touchscreen, a first virtual button, displaying a menu comprising a plurality of virtual buttons corresponding to actions responsive to detecting a finger pressing the first virtual button via the touchscreen, performing an action responsive to the finger being released from the touchscreen at a second virtual button associated with the action, and updating the display of the first virtual button to indicate the action. In this way, an operator of an imaging system may easily access a potentially large plurality of imaging modes and actions relating to imaging via a touchscreen during a scan, thereby extending the operator's ability to control the ultrasound imaging system in a reduced amount of time.
