    Abstract: The present disclosure describes imaging systems configured to identify features within image frames and improve the frames by implementing image quality adjustments. An ultrasound imaging system can include a transducer configured to acquire echo signals responsive to ultrasound pulses transmitted toward a target. The system can also include a user interface configured to display an image and one or more processors configured to identify one or more features within the image. The processors can cause the interface to display elements associated with at least two image quality operations specific to the identified feature. A first image quality operation can include a manual adjustment of a transducer setting, and a second image quality operation can include an automatic adjustment of the identified feature derived from reference frames including the identified feature. The processors can receive a user selection of one or more elements and apply the operations to modify the image.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an ultrasound imaging system configured to identify a target placement of an ultrasound probe for viewing a lung pleural line. In some examples, the system may include an ultrasound probe configured to receive ultrasound echoes from a subject to image a region of the subject and a data processor in communication with the ultrasound probe. The data processor may be configured to identify one or more candidate pleural lines and one or more A-lines corresponding to the candidate pleural lines, compute an A-line intensity of at least one of the A-lines, and apply the computed A-line intensity to indicate a target placement of the ultrasound probe for imaging the region for pleural line identification. The system may also include a user interface in communication with the data processor. The user interface may be configured to alert the user of the target placement of the ultrasound probe.
