    Abstract: A facility for assessing an ultrasound image captured from a patient with a particular depth setting is described. The facility subjects the received ultrasound image to at least one neural network to produce, for each neural network, an inference. On the basis of the produced inferences, the facility determines whether the depth setting at which the ultrasound image was captured was optimal.

    Abstract: A facility for automatically establishing measurement location controls for Doppler ultrasound studies is described. The facility receives a first ultrasound image, and user input selecting an anatomical structure appearing in it. The facility performs localization to determine the location of the selected anatomical structure in the initial image, and determines a first placement of measurement location controls relative to the structure. On the ultrasound machine, the facility invokes one or more first Doppler ultrasound modes using the first placement. The facility receives a second ultrasound image produced by the ultrasound machine using the one or more first modes; determines a flow location and direction based on the second ultrasound image; and determines a second placement relative to the flow location. The facility invokes one or more second Doppler ultrasound modes using the second placement, and receives results from the invocation of the one or more second Doppler ultrasound modes.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated recording of an ultrasound clip are based on quality scores of ultrasound images in a sequence of ultrasound image frames. An ultrasound imaging system includes a probe for capturing ultrasound images, an image buffer to store a sequence of image frames, a quality buffer to store a sequence of quality scores, and a computing subsystem that automatically records an ultrasound clip when the quality scores in the quality buffer corresponding to a set of contiguous image frames in the image buffer equal or exceed a first quality threshold and the set of contiguous image frames is at least a first predetermined size. Additionally, a smart capture feature automatically records an ultrasound clip including an alternate set of contiguous image frames having quality scores equaling or exceeding a second quality threshold that is less than the first quality threshold and meets a second predetermined size.

    Abstract: A facility for performing patient diagnosis is described. The facility accesses a set of diagnostic signs involved in a diagnostic protocol. Until the presence or absence of each of the diagnostic signs of the set has been identified in ultrasound images of a patient, the facility causes an ultrasound image to be captured from the patient, and applies to the captured ultrasound image a trained machine learning model to identify the presence or absence of one or more diagnostic signs of the set. The facility evaluates the diagnostic protocol with respect to the identified presence or absence of each of the set of diagnostic signs to obtain a preliminary diagnosis, and stores the preliminary diagnosis.
