  • Method and system for simulating an ultrasound scanning session
    Patent number: 10665133
    Abstract: A system and method for simulating an ultrasound scanning session is provided. The method includes acquiring an image of at least a portion of a simulated scan surface by a camera. A probe simulator having a visually coded pattern is maneuvered on the simulated scan surface. The method includes analyzing the acquired image to identify the visually coded pattern of the probe simulator maneuvered on the simulated scan surface. The method includes determining a position and orientation of the probe simulator based on the visually coded pattern identified in the acquired image. The method includes estimating a scan plane based at least in part on the determined position and orientation of the probe simulator. The method includes retrieving an ultrasound image from storage. The ultrasound image corresponds with the estimated scan plane. The method includes presenting the retrieved ultrasound image at a display system.
