Abstract: Methods and systems for assistance in medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging are provided. Users are provided access to a vast knowledge base of ultrasound information, such as the knowledge base acquired by ultrasound imaging system manufacturers. Manufacturers may have more up-to-date ultrasound technology, processing and information. Users from various locations are provided access to this knowledge at a central location. For example, factory certified expert processing of ultrasonic data is provided via the Internet. Image processing, analysis and interpretation are provided by a computer or by a human at the central location. The expertise represented by the computer or human processing is then provided back to the various locations. Ultrasound imaging system users distributed throughout different facilities benefit from the processing, analysis and interpretation of ultrasound data provided by the central location.
