6.22 iWorks (Auto Workflow Protocol)
6.22.1 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.
6.22.2 Normal iWorks Basic Procedure
Perform the following procedure:
1. Enter the patient information.
2. Select [iWorks] to enter the protocol selection screen, and select the corresponding protocol to
enter the status.
3. After the system enters the iWorks screen, the available protocol is displayed. Perform the
scanning and saving according to the screen prompt.

prompt.
4. After a view scanning is complete, tap [Save Image] to switch to the next view according to the
screen prompt.
