6.9 iWorks (Auto Workflow Protocol)
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.
• iWorks is an option.
Perform the following procedure:
1. Enter the patient information.
2. Tap [iWorks] on the tool bar to enter the protocol selection screen, and tap the corresponding
protocol button to enter the status.
3. After the system enters the iWorks screen, the available protocol is displayed on the lower part
of the screen. Perform the scanning and saving according to the screen prompt.
Perform measurements or add comments/body marks to the image according to the screen
prompt.
4. After a view scanning is complete, tap [Save Image] to switch to the next view according to the
screen prompt.
5. Repeat step 3 and step 4 to acquire all the necessary images.
6. After all views are finished, the system will prompt you to exit iWorks. Tap [Yes] to exit
