Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a medical imaging system. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) pleural surface viewed from an inside of the lung and looking outward based on ultrasound imaging signals. The 3D pleural surface may be generated from 2D or 3D ultrasound images. The method further comprises shading the generated 3D pleural surface via at least one virtual light source positioned as if inside the lung.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for ultrasound imaging with real-time feedback for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions. Ultrasound images generated based on received echo ultrasound signals during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of a patient may be processed, and based on the processing of the ultrasound images, real-time information relating to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be determined. Feedback for assisting in conducting the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be generated based on the information. The feedback may include information and/or indications relating to compressions applied during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The feedback may be configured for outputting during displaying of the generated ultrasound images.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a medical imaging system. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring a series of medical images of a lung, identifying a pleural line in each medical image of the series, evaluating the pleural line for irregularities in each medical image of the series, and outputting an annotated version of each medical image of the series, the annotated version including visual markers for healthy pleura and irregular pleura. In this way, an operator of the medical imaging system may be alerted to pleural irregularities during a scan.

Abstract: A method and ultrasound imaging system for performing an ultrasound examination. The method and system includes entering a workflow and displaying a plurality of graphical icons positioned on a graphical model. The method and system includes selecting a first anatomical zone, acquiring a first image, and saving and associating the first image with the first anatomical zone. The method and system includes saving and associating a first clinical finding with the first anatomical zone. The method and system includes selecting a second anatomical zone, acquiring a second image, and saving and associating the second image with the second anatomical zone. The method and system includes saving and associating a second clinical finding with the second anatomical zone. The method and system include displaying an examination overview including the first image, the first clinical finding, the second image, and the second clinical finding.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for graphical grading of medical findings during a diagnostic imaging exam. In one example, a method includes displaying an acquired medical image on a display area of a display device, displaying a virtual anatomical diagram on the display area adjacent to the ultrasound medical image, responsive to selection of an anatomical region from the anatomical diagram, displaying a plurality of icons representing graded diagnostic findings associated with the anatomical region, and responsive to selection of an icon of the plurality of icons, storing the ultrasound medical image in permanent memory.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for displaying cine loops during a periodic imaging session are disclosed. In one example, a method includes acquiring, with an ultrasound probe, a first set of images of an imaging subject during a first imaging period, displaying the first set of images as a first cine loop at a first display area of a display, acquiring, with the ultrasound probe, a second set of images of the imaging subject during a second imaging period different than the first imaging period, and displaying the second set of images as a second cine loop at a second display area of the display, different than the first area, while maintaining display of the first cine loop at the first display area.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating interaction by an ultrasound operator with an artificial intelligence segmentation module configured to identify and track biological and/or artificial structures in ultrasound images is provided. The method includes acquiring an ultrasound image and segmenting the ultrasound image with artificial intelligence to identify structure(s) in the ultrasound image. The method includes labeling the structure(s) in the ultrasound image to create a labeled ultrasound image. The method includes presenting the labeled ultrasound image at a display system. The method includes receiving a user selection of at least one target corresponding with at least one labeled structure. The method includes tracking the selected target(s) by identifying the selected target(s) in subsequently acquired ultrasound images.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system and method acquires ultrasound image data from moving an ultrasound probe over a body of a person, automatically divides the ultrasound image data into segments of interest based on where the ultrasound image data was acquired, and displays a panoramic view of the ultrasound image data that includes two or more of the segments of interest with at least one of the segments of interest displayed as a video.
