    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to configuring an ultrasound system with imaging parameter values. Certain aspects relate to configuring an ultrasound system to produce sets of ultrasound images, each respective set of ultrasound images being produced with a different respective set of imaging parameter values; obtaining, from the ultrasound system, the sets of ultrasound images; determining a set of ultrasound images from among the sets of ultrasound images that has a highest quality; and based on determining the set of ultrasound images that has the highest quality, providing a prompt as to whether to configure the ultrasound system to produce ultrasound images using a set of imaging parameter values with which the set of ultrasound images that has the highest quality was produced.

    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to providing feedback a user to position an ultrasound device. Some embodiments include configuring the ultrasound device to alternate collection of ultrasound images having one image plane and collection of ultrasound images having the other image plane, and providing feedback to the user to position the ultrasound device based on the ultrasound images. In such embodiments, feedback may be provided for simultaneously centering the anatomical structure in both types of ultrasound images. Some embodiments include collecting ultrasound images having one image plane, providing feedback for centering the anatomical structure in those ultrasound images, and once the anatomical structure is centered in those ultrasound images, collecting ultrasound images having another image plane and providing feedback for centering the anatomical structure in those ultrasound images.

    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to storing ultrasound data. Some embodiments include outputting first ultrasound data from first receive circuitry and outputting second ultrasound data from second receive circuitry on a single clock cycle, and writing the first ultrasound data at a first memory address of a first memory and writing the second ultrasound data at a second memory address of a second memory, where the first and second memory addresses are different. Some embodiments include outputting ultrasound data and a memory address, remapping the memory address to generate a remapped memory address, and writing the ultrasound data to memory at the remapped memory address.

    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to incorporating how a user has previously moved an ultrasound device when providing instructions for moving the ultrasound device. Some embodiments include providing a first instruction for moving the ultrasound device, determining a difference between the first instruction and a movement of the ultrasound device, determining a second instruction for moving the ultrasound device based on the difference between the first instruction and the movement of the ultrasound device, and providing the second instruction for moving the ultrasound device. Some embodiments include providing a notification to the user regarding the user not following an instruction accurately. Some embodiments include providing a first instruction among a set of instructions that also includes a second instruction that has not yet been provided. Based on determining that the user did not follow the first instruction accurately, the second instruction is provided.
