a beamformer adapted to receive ultrasound image signals and produce coherent echo signals;
a B mode image processor, coupled to the beamformer, which is adapted to produce B mode ultrasound images;
a Doppler processor, coupled to the beamformer, which is adapted to produce color Doppler images;
a user interface that in response to user inputs is adapted to control operation of the ultrasound imaging system and which is further adapted to control display and workflow settings of the system;
a tissue specific preset (TSP) settings controller adapted to optimize operation of the ultrasound imaging system for settings of different TSP modes of operation; and
a display adapted to display ultrasound images optimized by different TSP settings, wherein the TSP settings controller is configured to maintain the display and workflow settings of the system during a change of the TSP mode to a different TSP mode.
