Method and system for providing standard ultrasound scan plane views using automatic scan acquisition rotation and view detection

A system comprising:

• an ultrasound probe positioned at a scan position over a region of interest configured to:
• acquire a scan plane;
• and
• acquire an additional scan plane at an adjusted scan acquisition angle until a first standard view is determined;
• at least one processor configured to:
• determine the scan plane is not a first standard view;
• automatically adjust a scan acquisition angle until the first standard view is determined, wherein adjusting the scan acquisition angle comprises at least one of rotating and tilting the scan acquisition angle by a pre-defined amount, and wherein the pre-defined amount is defined prior to the acquiring the scan plane;
• and
• automatically determine whether the additional scan plane is the first standard view,
• wherein the at least one processor automatically adjusts the scan acquisition angle and the ultrasound probe acquires the additional scan plane iteratively at the scan position until the additional scan plane having the first standard view is automatically determined by the at least one processor;
• and
• a display system configured to present the additional scan plane having the first standard view.

A system comprising:

• an ultrasound probe positioned at a scan position over a region of interest configured to:
• acquire a scan plane;
• acquire an additional scan plane at an adjusted scan acquisition angle until a first standard view is determined;
• and
• acquire a further scan plane at an adjusted second scan acquisition angle until a second standard view is determined;
• at least one processor configured to:
• determine the scan plane is not a first standard view;
• automatically adjust a scan acquisition angle until the first standard view is determined, wherein adjusting the scan acquisition angle comprises at least one of rotating and tilting the scan acquisition angle by a pre-defined amount, and wherein the pre-defined amount is defined prior to the acquiring the scan plane;
• automatically determine whether the additional scan plane is the first standard view,
• wherein the at least one processor automatically adjusts the scan acquisition angle and the ultrasound probe acquires the additional scan plane iteratively at the scan position until the additional scan plane having the first standard view is automatically determined by the at least one processor;
• automatically adjust a second scan acquisition angle until the second standard view is determined, wherein adjusting the second scan acquisition angle comprises at least one of rotating and tilting the scan acquisition angle to provide the adjusted second scan acquisition angle by a pre-defined amount, and wherein the pre-defined amount is defined prior to the ultrasound probe acquiring the scan plane;
• and
• automatically determine whether the additional scan plane is the second standard view,
• wherein the at least one processor automatically adjusts the second scan acquisition angle and the ultrasound probe acquires the further scan plane iteratively at the scan position until the further scan plane having the second standard view is automatically determined by the at least one processor;
• and
• a display system configured to present the additional scan plane having the first standard view and the further scan plane having the second standard view.
