System for catheter-guided visualization and rendering

A method comprising:

• acquiring ultrasound data of a region of interest of a subject;
• determining a trajectory of a medical instrument in the region of interest of the subject;
• analyzing image parameters of the ultrasound data along the trajectory of the medical instrument;
• determining a predicted impact point of the medical instrument with respect to an anatomical feature of the region of interest of the subject based on the image parameters;
• generating an ultrasound image of the region of interest of the subject including the medical instrument and a delineation of the predicted impact point of the medical instrument;
• and
• displaying the ultrasound image of the region of interest of the subject including the medical instrument and the delineation of the predicted impact point of the medical instrument.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• acquire ultrasound data of a region of interest of a subject;
• determine a trajectory of a medical instrument in the region of interest of the subject;
• analyze image parameters of the ultrasound data along the trajectory of the medical instrument;
• determine a predicted impact point of the medical instrument with respect to an anatomical feature of the region of interest of the subject based on the image parameters;
• and
• display an ultrasound image of the region of interest of the subject including the medical instrument and a delineation of the predicted impact point of the medical instrument.
