System and method for segmenting an anatomical structure

A computer-implemented method for segmenting an anatomical structure in an ultrasound image, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining first ultrasound imaging data representative of a region of interest including the anatomical structure, wherein the first ultrasound imaging data is acquired, by a beamforming unit, at a first resolution;
• obtaining second ultrasound imaging data representative of an extended field-of-view, wherein the second ultrasound imaging data is acquired, by the beamforming unit, at a second, lower resolution, and the extended field-of-view comprises at least one region adjacent to the region of interest;
• and
• segmenting the anatomical structure in the region of interest by processing the first ultrasound imaging data and second ultrasound imaging data.
