Abstract: A non-imaging diagnostic ultrasound system for carotid artery diagnosis has a two dimensional array probe (10) with a low element count and relatively large element size which can cover an area of the carotid artery at its bifurcation. The elements are operated independently with no phasing, and detect Doppler flow spatially beneath each element. The system produces maps of carotid blood flow in two or three dimensions and can assemble an extended view of the flow by matching segments of the carotid flow as the probe is moved over the vessel. Once the carotid artery has been localized, the degree of stenosis is assessed by automated measurements of peak systolic velocity and blood flow turbulence.

The consumer questionnaire unit (14) identifies consumer habits based on received responses to personal, medical, and lifestyle questions. The workflow assistant (20) iteratively identifies medical tests for the consumer based on a rule based evaluation of responses and received medical test results. The risk assessor (26) calculates a health risk to the consumer based on the identified habits and lifestyle behaviors and received medical test results, and determines body damage to the consumer based on received medical test results. The guideline interpreter (28) constructs a lifestyle advice display based on the identified consumer habits, the calculated health risk, the determined body damage, and lifestyle advice. The display device (36) displays the lifestyle advice display.
