Abstract: A method for ultrasound imaging is presented. The method includes acquiring at least one image of a subject, determining a current position of an ultrasound probe on a body surface of the subject based on the image, identifying anatomical regions of interest in the image, quantifying the image to determine suitability of the image to one or more scan planes corresponding to a clinical protocol, generating a personalized anatomical model of the subject based on a current position of the ultrasound probe, the identified anatomical regions of interest, and the quantification of the image, computing a desired trajectory of the ultrasound probe from the current location to a target location based on the clinical protocol, communicating a desired movement of the ultrasound probe based on the computed trajectory, moving the ultrasound probe along the computed trajectory based on the communicated desired movement to acquire images of the subject.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a patient-specific organ model is provided. The method may include receiving ultrasound images of an organ and probe position data corresponding with each of the ultrasound images. The method may include receiving identification of landmarks in the ultrasound images corresponding with pre-defined landmarks of a generic geometric organ model. The method may include automatically identifying surface points of the organ in the ultrasound images. The method may include generating a patient-specific ultrasound point cloud of the organ based on the received identification of the landmarks, the automatically identified surface points of the organ, and the probe position data. The method may include registering a point cloud of the generic geometric model to the patient-specific ultrasound point cloud to create a patient-specific organ model. The method may include presenting the patient-specific organ model at a display system.
