Obtaining a medical image at a target plane

A computer-implemented method for obtaining a medical image at a target plane, the method comprising:

• obtaining a three-dimensional, 3D, volume containing an anatomical structure;
• identifying the anatomical structure in the 3D volume;
• analyzing the geometry of the anatomical structure in the 3D volume;
• registering the target plane to the 3D volume based on the analysis of the geometry of the anatomical structure;
• extracting a plurality of medical images from the 3D volume in the vicinity of the registered target plane,
• determining quality scores for the extracted medical images;
• and
• selecting a medical image, from the plurality of extracted medical images, based on the quality scores.
