Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to techniques for guiding an operator to use an ultrasound device. Thereby, operators with little or no experience operating ultrasound devices may capture medically relevant ultrasound images and/or interpret the contents of the obtained ultrasound images. For example, some of the techniques disclosed herein may be used to identify a particular anatomical view of a subject to image with an ultrasound device, guide an operator of the ultrasound device to capture an ultrasound image of the subject that contains the particular anatomical view, and/or analyze the captured ultrasound image to identify medical information about the subject.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to techniques for calculating, during imaging, a quality of a sequence of images collected during the imaging. Calculating the quality of the sequence of images may include calculating a probability that a medical professional would use a given image for clinical evaluation and a confidence that an automated analysis segmentation performed on the given image is correct. Techniques described herein also include receiving a trigger to perform an automatic measurement on a sequence of images, calculating a quality of the sequence of images, determining whether the quality of the sequence of images exceeds a threshold quality, and performing the automatic measurement on the sequence of images based on determining that the quality of the sequence of images exceeds the threshold quality.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to operator processing devices and instructor processing device for tele-medicine. The instructor processing device may be configured to receive, from an instruction interface, a selection of an instruction for moving an ultrasound device. The operator processing device may be configured to determine a pose of the ultrasound device relative to the operator processing device. The instructor processing device and the operator processing device may be configured to display in an operator video, based on the pose of the ultrasound device relative to the operator processing device and based on the selected instruction, a directional indicator for moving the ultrasound device. The instructor processing device may also be configured to display, based on the pose of the ultrasound device relative to the operator processing device, orientation indicators in the instruction interface and/or the operator video.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to ultrasound data collection using tele-medicine. An instructor electronic device may generate for display an instructor augmented reality interface and receive, on the instructor augmented reality interface, an instruction for moving an ultrasound imaging device. The instructor augmented reality interface may include a video showing the ultrasound imaging device and a superposition of arrows on the video, where each of the arrows corresponds to a possible instruction for moving the ultrasound imaging device. A user electronic device may receive, from the instructor electronic device, an instruction for moving an ultrasound imaging device, and generate for display, on a user augmented reality interface shown on the user electronic device, the instruction for moving the ultrasound imaging device. The user augmented reality interface may include the video showing the ultrasound imaging device and an arrow superimposed on the video that corresponds to the instruction.
