TECHINCAL FIELD
[001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a medical device. More particularly  the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an Ultrasound device comprising a touchpad segmented into one or more rows or similar kind of touchpad devices.
BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE
[002] Traditional Potentiometers present in the existing ultrasound devices are vulnerable to liquid/Dust/gel ingress. An existing ultrasound device as illustrated in FIGURE 1A uses functionality of a trackball and Time Gain Compensation (TGC) potentiometers resulting in high cost and complex system. With traditional TGC implementations  the number of regions that can be controlled is limited by number of potentiometers. It’s very hard to implement and memorize several different TGC settings for different applications without physically moving the mechanical potentiometers in the existing ultrasound systems.
[003] Hence  there exists a need for an ultrasound device that overcomes the above drawbacks of the existing systems and also improves the implementation of TGC functionality corresponding to different applications to provide more accurate adjustments of an ultrasound image as per the requirement by a user.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[004] The shortcomings of the prior art are overcome through the provision of a method and a system as described in the description.
[005] An ultrasound device to implement Time Gain Compensation (TGC) is disclosed as one aspect of the present disclosure. The ultrasound device comprises an input unit and a display unit. The input unit comprises a touch pad. The touch pad is segmented into one or more rows  wherein each row is mapped to corresponding depth of an image which is formed based on echoed signals of an object received through an ultrasound probe. The one or more rows on the touch pad facilitates a user to adjust gain of the image using Time Gain Compensation (TGC) functionality implemented in a processor associated to the ultrasound device. The display unit comprises predetermined marking corresponding to one or more rows segmented on the touch pad. The marking on the display unit indicates corresponding depth of the image being adjusted by the user using the one or more rows of the touch pad.
[006] A method of processing an image using ultrasound device is disclosed as another aspect of the present disclosure. The method comprises receiving echoed signals of an object through an ultrasound probe by a processor and forming an image based on echoed signals of the object. Then  depths of the image before displaying on a display unit are computed by the processor. The computed depths of the image are mapped to one or more corresponding rows formed on touchpad. This touchpad facilitates a user to adjust gain of the image using Time Gain Compensation (TGC) function implemented in the processor.
[007] The foregoing summary is illustrative only and is not intended to be in any way limiting. In addition to the illustrative aspects  embodiments  and features described above  further aspects  embodiments  and features will become apparent by reference to the drawings and the following detailed description.
