International Classification:

A61B 8/00
A61B 8/08

Abstract:

Aspects of the technology described herein relate to configuring an ultrasound system with imaging parameter values. In particular, certain aspects relate to configuring an ultrasound system to produce a plurality of sets of ultrasound images, each respective set of the plurality of sets of ultrasound images being produced with a different respective set of a plurality of sets of imaging parameter values; obtaining, from the ultrasound system, the plurality of sets of ultrasound images; determining a set of ultrasound images from among the plurality of sets of ultrasound images that has a highest quality; and based on determining the set of ultrasound images from among the plurality of sets of ultrasound images that has the highest quality, automatically configuring the ultrasound system to produce ultrasound images using a set of imaging parameter values with which the set of ultrasound images that has the highest quality was produced.

Abstract:

Aspects of the technology described herein relate to techniques for guiding an operator to use an ultrasound device. Thereby, operators with little or no experience operating ultrasound devices may capture medically relevant ultrasound images and/or interpret the contents of the obtained ultrasound images. For example, some of the techniques disclosed herein may be used to identify a particular anatomical view of a subject to image with an ultrasound device, guide an operator of the ultrasound device to capture an ultrasound image of the subject that contains the particular anatomical view, and/or analyze the captured ultrasound image to identify medical information about the subject.

International Classification:

G06T 7/00

Abstract:

Aspects of the technology described herein relate to techniques for calculating, during imaging, a quality of a sequence of images collected during the imaging. Calculating the quality of the sequence of images may include calculating a probability that a medical professional would use a given image for clinical evaluation and a confidence that an automated analysis segmentation performed on the given image is correct. Techniques described herein also include receiving a trigger to perform an automatic measurement on a sequence of images, calculating a quality of the sequence of images, determining whether the quality of the sequence of images exceeds a threshold quality, and performing the automatic measurement on the sequence of images based on determining that the quality of the sequence of images exceeds the threshold quality.
