Systems, devices, and associated methods including: emitting ultrasound to the subject and receiving, in response, a current ultrasound view; matching the received image to a pre-existing image, such as a three-dimensional reference image; and, for user assistance, generating, based on the matching, feedback for the guidance. The reference image may be a statistical atlas or it may be derived from patient-specific CT or MR scans. The pre-existing image may instead be a database image corresponding to a state in a state space. The feedback can be an image derived from the reference image; a graphic indication of a plane of the target view; the received view fused to an image derived from the reference image; or the received view and an image derived from the reference image, the derived image appearing concurrently and enhanced to spatially indicated where the received view registers to the reference image.
An apparatus configured for guidance in acquiring ultrasound imaging of a subject to achieve a target view, said apparatus comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program for guidance in acquiring ultrasound imaging of a subject to achieve a target view, said program comprising instructions executable by a processor for performing a plurality of acts comprising:
