Systems and methods for automated physiological parameter estimation from ultrasound image sequences

A system, comprising:

• a machine learning model operating in machine learning circuitry, the machine learning circuitry configured to:
• receive a sequence of ultrasound images of a patient;
• receive prior knowledge associated with an anatomical structure;
• and
• automatically estimate one or more physiological parameters associated with a structure depicted in the sequence of the ultrasound images of a patient based at least in part on the prior knowledge.

A method, comprising:

• acquiring a sequence of ultrasound images of a patient;
• automatically recognizing, by anatomical structure recognition circuitry, an anatomical structure in the received sequence of ultrasound images;
• and
• automatically estimating, by physiological parameters estimation circuitry, one or more physiological parameters associated with the recognized anatomical structure.
