Anatomically intelligent echochardiography for point-of-care

An ultrasound apparatus comprising:

• an ultrasound imaging probe;
• and
• a user-guidance processor configured for dynamically arranging presentation of feedback for guiding manual adjustment of a location, and orientation, associated with said probe, said arranging selectively based on comparisons between fields of view of said probe and respective results of segmenting image data acquired via said probe,
• wherein the feedback further comprises an indicator to a user for probe movement and an indicator to a user to pause movement of the probe,
• wherein the user-guidance processor is further adapted to make a determination that a desired field of view has been obtained,
• wherein the making of a determination that a desired field of view has been obtain is followed by an instruction to halt probe movement, and
• wherein the instruction to halt probe movement is followed by detection of whether probe movement has been halted.
