    Abstract: The current disclosure provides systems and methods for providing guidance information to an operator of a medical imaging device. In an embodiment, a method is provided, comprising training a deep learning neural network on training pairs including a first medical image of an anatomical neighborhood and a second medical image of the anatomical neighborhood as input data, and a ground truth displacement between a first scan plane of the first medical image and a second scan plane of the second medical image as target data; using the neural network to predict a displacement between a first scan plane of a new medical image of the anatomical neighborhood and a target scan plane of a reference medical image of the anatomical neighborhood; and displaying guidance information for an imaging device used to acquire the new medical image on a display screen.

    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for individually analyzing a plurality of subregions within an ultrasound image for acoustic shadowing. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring ultrasound data along a plurality of receive lines, generating an ultrasound image based on the ultrasound data, dividing the ultrasound image into a plurality of subregions, and individually analyzing each of the plurality of subregions for acoustic shadowing. The method includes detecting acoustic shadowing in one or more of the plurality of subregions, displaying the ultrasound image, and graphically indicating the one or more of the plurality of subregions in which the acoustic shadowing was detected on the ultrasound image while the ultrasound image is displayed on a display device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying a mid-sagittal plane (MSP) in a medical image. In one example, a method for an image processing system comprises obtaining an input volume acquired with an ultrasound imaging system, entering the input volume as input to a segmentation model trained to output a segmentation mask that identifies a segmented fetal head, a first segmented orbit, and a second segmented orbit, identifying a mid-sagittal plane (MSP) of the fetal head using the segmented first orbit and the segmented second orbit, visually displaying the MSP on the segmented fetal head, in response to determining the MSP is not an acquired plane, alerting a user of poor facial rendering or a possibility of poor facial rendering and prompting the user to reorient an ultrasound probe and reacquire the input volume, and displaying the input volume and/or saving the input volume in memory.
