    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 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 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.

    Abstract: Aspects of technology described herein relate to guiding collection of ultrasound data collection using motion and/or orientation data. A directional indicator corresponding to an instruction for moving an ultrasound imaging device relative to a subject may be displayed in an augmented reality display. The direction of the directional indicator in the augmented reality display may be independent of an orientation of the ultrasound imaging device. The augmented reality display may include video captured by a camera that depicts the ultrasound imaging device and a fiducial marker on the ultrasound imaging device. The direction of the directional indicator may be based on the pose of the camera relative to the fiducial marker and the rotation and/or tilt of the ultrasound imaging device relative to the axis of gravity. The direction of the directional indicator may also be based on the pose of the camera relative to the subject.

    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to guiding collection of ultrasound data collection using motion and/or orientation data. Motion and/or orientation data may be received from an ultrasound imaging device, where the motion and/or orientation data provides an indication of the motion and/or orientation of the ultrasound imaging device. Ultrasound data collected by the ultrasound imaging device may also be received. An instruction for moving the ultrasound imaging device based on the motion and/or orientation data and the ultrasound data may be provided. Ultrasound data and motion and/or orientation data may indicate a velocity of the ultrasound imaging device that exceeds a threshold velocity and an instruction for slowing the velocity of the ultrasound imaging device may be provided.
