  • Ultrasound Imaging System with Voice Activated Controls Using Remotely Positioned Microphone
    Publication number: 20080253589
    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system includes a direction-tracking microphone that is able to determine the direction of a voice command and to cause the microphone to selectively receive acoustic inputs from the determined direction. A voice recognition then interprets the voice command and controls the operation of the ultrasound imaging system accordingly. The direction tracking microphone may, for example, select one of several unidirectional microphones that receives the loudest signal or a phased array of omnidirectional microphones.
