Systems and methods for guided lung coverage and automated detection using ultrasound devices are disclosed. The method for guided coverage and automated detection of pathologies of a subject includes positioning an ultrasound probe on a region of the subject body to be imaged. The method includes capturing a video of the subject and processing the video to generate a torso image of the subject and identify location of the ultrasound probe on the subject body. The method includes registering the video to an anatomical atlas to generate a mask of the region of the subject body comprising a plurality of sub-regions of the subject body to be imaged and superimposing the mask over the torso image. The method further includes displaying an indicator corresponding to a location of the each of the plurality of the sub-regions on the torso image. The method further includes displaying the relative position of the ultrasound probe with respect to the indicator corresponding to the location of the each of the plurality of plurality of sub-regions of the subject body to be imaged.
1) A method for guided coverage and automated detection of pathologies of a subject body, the method comprising:
16) A system for guided coverage and automated detection of pathologies of a subject body, the system comprising:
21) The system of 16, wherein the portable device is a mobile phone.
