  • Patent number: 11839514
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to displaying indications of anatomical regions that have been imaged and/or that should be imaged next. In some embodiments, ultrasound data collected from a subject by an ultrasound device may be received, an automatic determination may be made that the ultrasound data was collected from a particular anatomical location, and an indication of the anatomical location may be displayed. In some embodiments, a plurality of anatomical locations may be determined for imaging, an anatomical location from among the plurality of anatomical locations may be automatically selected, and an indication of the anatomical location may be displayed. Displaying an indication of an anatomical location may include displaying or modifying a marker on a frame of a video of the subject such that the marker appears in the frame of the video to be located at the anatomical location on the subject.

  • Publication number: 20230289664
    Abstract: A system and method for image-based monitoring of an object inserted into a patient is disclosed. A model can be trained for an object configured to be inserted into a patient as part of a medical procedure, the trained model being generated from one or more machine learning algorithms that are trained on annotated images of the object with spatial information of the object. An imaging computer system can receive one or more images of the object inserted within the patient captured by an imaging device positioned external to the patient. The imaging computer system can further determine, based on applying the trained model to the one or more images of the object, current spatial information of the object within the patient. A display can output the one or more images and the current spatial information of the object.
