6.23 iWorks (Auto Workflow Protocol)
6.23.1 Overview
The main objective of ultrasound workflow automation (iWorks) is to speed up exam times and
reduce the excessive number of user interface manual key strokes that can lead to repetitive strain
injuries over time. It automates a clinical workflow in common exam protocols in a logical “step by
step” manner. It also prevents missing important parts of examinations as well as decreasing exam
times.
A Protocol Event contains series workflow events (annotation comments, body marks and
measurements) and image modal commands to assist the user in routine ultrasound examinations.
The system provides different protocol events based on the different application regions.
