Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and devices for controlling ultrasound systems with a user interface. SOLUTION: The user interface 150 for controlling an ultrasound system 100 comprises a display 152 for displaying ultrasound data and a plurality of physical controls. At least one of the physical controls is configured to control multiple functions of the ultrasound system 100 and has a user operable member providing physical actions that are associated with system parameters. The physical actions comprise rotational and translational movements, and each of the system parameters is associated with an ultrasound system action. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
