Abstract
Aspects of the disclosed technology provide ways to detect the object of ultrasound scanning and to automatically, load system settings and image preferences necessary to generate high quality output images. In some aspects, an ultrasound system can be configured to perform steps including receiving a selection of a first transducer, identifying a body structure or organ based on a signal received in response to an activation of the first transducer, retrieving a first set of parameters corresponding with the body structure, and configuring the first transducer based on the first set of parameters. Methods and machine-readable media are also provided.
Claims20
An ultrasound imaging system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
- automatically identify, using a machine learning (ML) classifier and without input from a user, an organ within a patient's body based on a signal received from an ultrasound transducer;
- retrieve, from a database associating different organs with different sets of parameters, a first set of parameters corresponding to the organ;
- configure an ultrasound transducer based at least one parameter of the first set of parameters;
- and
- collect a first image of the organ via the ultrasound transducer using the at least one parameter of the first set of parameters.
A computer-implemented method for optimizing sonogram images, comprising:
- automatically identifying, using a machine learning (ML) classifier and without input from a user, an organ within a patient's body based on a signal received from an ultrasound transducer;
- retrieving, from a database associating different organs with different sets of parameters, a first set of parameters corresponding to the organ;
- configuring the ultrasound transducer based on at least one parameter of the first set of parameters;
- and
- collecting a first image of the organ via the ultrasound transducer using the at least one parameter of the first set of parameters.
