摘要：
The invention relates to an ultrasound system for imaging a volumetric region comprising a region of interest (ROI) (82′；). The system comprises a probe (10)； an ultrasound wave controlling unit adapted to control ultrasound wave transmission and provide ultrasound image data of the volumetric region (131)； an image processor； and a ROI identifier, which is adapted to generate identification data indicating the ROI within the volumetric region； wherein the ultrasound wave transmission is configurable by a plurality of use cases in response to respective identifiers of said use cases, each use case being associated with a particular imaging procedure and comprising an anatomical model for said imaging procedure； and wherein the ROI identifier is configurable by the respective anatomical models of said use cases. Such an ultrasound system may be (semi-)automatically configured in accordance with settings that are specific to a particular imaging procedure, which facilitates the use of such a system by less experienced users and reduces the time required to configure the system. A method of configuring such an ultrasound system is also disclosed.
