Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system and method for obtaining head progression measurements includes accessing a reference image frame acquired along a first scan plane and obtaining a first head progression measurement from the reference image frame. The system and method includes acquiring, with an ultrasound probe, a live image along a second scan plane and displaying the reference image frame superimposed over the live image. The system and method includes selecting an image frame from the live image and obtaining a second head progression measurement from the image frame.

Abstract: A processor identifies a curved structure in three-dimensional medical image data. The processor selects a plane in the three-dimensional medical image data based at least in part on the identified curved structure. The processor defines a curved image slice in the selected plane based at least in part on the identified curved structure. The curved image slice may be defined by drawing a pair of curved lines on opposite sides of the identified curved structure in the selected plane. The distance between the pair of curved lines may define a thickness of the curved image slice. The processor generates a rendered image of the defined curved image slice. The rendered image may be generally perpendicular to the selected plane. The rendered image and/or the selected plane having the pair of curved lines superimposed on opposite sides of the identified curved structure may be presented at a display system.
