    Abstract: Methods and systems for segmenting structures in medical images are provided. The methods and systems drive a plurality of transducer element, and collect receive signals from the transducer array at a receive beamformer to form beam summed signals. The methods and systems generate a first ultrasound image of a region of interest (ROI) having tissue elements and blood elements, and generate a second ultrasound image of the ROI having tissue elements and blood elements. The tissue elements of the first ultrasound image having a higher intensity than the blood elements. The blood elements of the second ultrasound image having a higher intensity than the tissue elements. The methods and systems further perform segmentation by simultaneously applying edge detection on the first and second ultrasound images for the ROI.

    Abstract: A method and ultrasound imaging system for detecting a coherent reflector comprises acquiring ultrasound channel data from a volume with a probe including a 2D aperture, calculating a MRT from the ultrasound channel data, identifying a first angle of a projection of the coherent reflector in a plane parallel to the 2D aperture based on the MRT, detecting a line-shaped echo pattern in the ultrasound channel data, determining a second angle of the coherent reflector with respect to the 2D aperture, determining a position and an orientation of the coherent reflector based on the first angle and the second angle, enhancing a representation of the coherent reflector in an image generated based on the ultrasound channel data, and displaying the image on a display device after enhancing the representation of the coherent reflector.

    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein generally relate to automatically determining an anatomical measurement of an ultrasound image. The systems and methods identify a view characteristic of an ultrasound image. The ultrasound image including one or more anatomical features. The systems and methods select a diagnostic measurement (DM) tool based on the view characteristic, on a graphical user interface (GUI), which is generated on a display. The systems and methods receive a first selection at a first position within the ultrasound image, and automatically determine an anatomical measurement, to be performed upon the ultrasound image utilizing the DM tool, based on the first position.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automating analysis of diagnostic medical images. In one example, a method includes obtaining a set of medical images of a patient, automatically generating a set of clinical parameters from the set of medical images, automatically identifying a clinical finding of the patient based on at least one selected clinical parameter of the set of clinical parameters, outputting a graphical user interface for display on a display device, the graphical user interface including a visualization of the clinical finding and a link within the visualization of the clinical finding, and responsive to selection of the link, outputting, for display within the graphical user interface, a visualization of the at least one selected clinical parameter.
