  • Publication number: 20250032086
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing visualization and documentation of fibroid quantity, size, and location with respect to a uterus and endometrium in ultrasound imaging are provided. The method includes receiving, by at least one processor, an ultrasound volume including ultrasound image data of a region of interest that includes a uterus. The method includes automatically segmenting, by the at least one processor, the uterus and an endometrium in the ultrasound volume. The method includes segmenting one or more fibroids in the ultrasound image data. The method includes generating a classification of each of the one or more fibroids based on a location of each of the one or more fibroids with respect to the endometrium and the uterus. The method includes causing, by the at least one processor, a display system to present at least one image identifying the segmented uterus, endometrium, and one or more fibroids.

  • Patent number: 11488298
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving image quality of ultrasound images by automatically determining one or more image quality parameters via a plurality of separate image quality models. In one example, a method for an ultrasound system includes determining a plurality of image quality parameters of an ultrasound image acquired with the ultrasound system, each image quality parameter determined based on output from a separate image quality model, and outputting feedback to a user of the ultrasound system based on the plurality of image quality parameters.

  • Publication number: 20210169455
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving image quality of ultrasound images by jointly selecting optimal scan parameter values. In one example, a method includes acquiring a plurality of ultrasound images of an anatomical region, each ultrasound image acquired at a different combination of parameter values for a first scan parameter and a second scan parameter, selecting a first parameter value for the first scan parameter and a second parameter value for the second scan parameter based on an image quality of each image, and acquiring one or more additional ultrasound images at the first parameter value and the second parameter value.

  • Patent number: 10806391
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the subject matter described herein a system is provided. The system includes a portable host system having one or more processors and a memory for storing a plurality of applications. The one or more processors configured to execute programmed instructions of a select application by performing one or more operations, which include obtain a set of frames of 2D ultrasound images, develop a prospect model indicating a likelihood that frames within the set include an organ of interest (OOI), identify primary and secondary reference frames from the set of the frames based on the prospect model, determine a characteristic of interest in the primary reference frame, select a candidate shape for the OOI based on the character of interest in the primary reference frame, and adjust the candidate shape based on the secondary reference frames to form a resultant shape for the OOI.

  • Publication number: 20170124700
    Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring a volume of an organ of interest (OOI) from an ultrasound image are provided. The methods and systems acquire a first ultrasound image of an OOI at a first plane and a second ultrasound image of the OOI at a second plane, and identify the OOI within the first ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image by executing a classification model stored on a memory. The methods and systems further determine a first boundary of the OOI within the first ultrasound image and a second boundary of the OOI within the second ultrasound image by executing a contour model stored in the memory, determine a first second dimensional length of the OOI from the first boundary and a third dimensional length of the OOI from the second boundary, and calculate a volume of the OOI derived from the first, second, and third dimensional links.
