Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system and method includes acquiring low-resolution volume data with an ultrasound probe during the process of acquiring high-resolution slice data of a plane with the ultrasound probe. The ultrasound imaging system and method includes displaying an ultrasound image on a display device based on the high-resolution slice data, generating a low-resolution volume based on the low-resolution volume data, and implementing, with a processor, a neural network to calculate guidance information based on the low-resolution volume. The ultrasound imaging system and method includes automatically performing an action with the processor based on the guidance information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating motion from overlapping multiline acquisitions of successive transmit events are provided. The method includes receiving a set of receive data points for each of a sequence of partially overlapping transmit beams emitted from transducer elements in multiple directions at a target. The set of receive data points includes a number of receive data point locations overlapping with receive data point locations generated from other transmit beams in the sequence. The method includes compensating each receive data point for a different arrival time. The method includes determining a displacement of the target by comparing components of pairs of co-located receive data points generated in response to different transmit beams. The method includes summing the co-located receive data points into a pixel of a B-mode image and presenting the B-mode image with velocity information based on the determined displacement of the target at a display system.
