Abstract: A scanning control method and apparatus for an ultrasound scanning system, and an ultrasound scanning system including: acquiring an ultrasound scanning-related document, comprising an ultrasound scanning guidance for at least one tissue to be scanned; processing the ultrasound scanning-related document using a natural language processing (NLP) model, comprising processing the ultrasound scanning guidance; and generating an ultrasound scanning protocol for the at least one tissue to be scanned on the basis of the processing the ultrasound scanning guidance, and configuring and displaying the ultrasound scanning protocol in the ultrasound scanning system.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system that performs real-time ultrasound imaging of tissue to be imaged, generates a series of ultrasound images and parameter measurement results; displays a decision tree regarding the tissue to be imaged, the decision tree comprising nodes, the nodes comprising a root node, a plurality of internal nodes and a plurality of leaf nodes, the root node linking separately to each of the plurality of leaf nodes by means of a predetermined number of internal nodes to form a plurality of links, and each of the plurality of leaf nodes corresponding to a diagnostic result respectively; automatically matches the parameter measurement results with each of the nodes according to the at least one decision condition; and automatically updates the display of the decision tree according to the results of the automatic matching.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for performing automated measurements on medical images. In one example, a method includes acquiring a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image in accordance with a patient exam workflow, wherein the patient exam workflow calls for one or more measurements including a first measurement to be obtained on at least the first ultrasound image, automatically assessing whether the first ultrasound image is suitable for obtaining the first measurement during a time period where the second ultrasound image is being acquired, and if the first ultrasound image is automatically assessed as being unsuitable for obtaining the first measurement, automatically prompting the user, while the second ultrasound image is still being acquired, to reacquire the first ultrasound image.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ultrasound imaging method, comprising acquiring an ultrasound echo signal of a subject to be scanned, and generating an ultrasound image on the basis of the ultrasonic echo signal; identifying a section of the subject to be scanned that corresponds to the ultrasound image; determining a first anatomical feature in the ultrasound image; and determining a second anatomical feature in the ultrasound image, the determination of the second anatomical feature being at least partially based on the positional relationship between the first anatomical feature and the second anatomical feature in the section. The present disclosure also provides an ultrasound imaging system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.

Abstract: Provided in the present invention are a medical imaging method, apparatus, and system according to various embodiments. According to an embodiment, the medical imaging method includes performing image segmentation of a medical image acquired from a current scan containing a heart region of an examined subject to determine a heart wall region in said medical image. The medical imaging method includes generating a local elastic image of said heart wall region. And the medical imaging method includes displaying said local elastic image at the position of said heart wall region in said medical image in an overlapping manner and in real-time.
