METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ULTRASOUND-BASED STRUCTURE LOCALIZATION USING IMAGE AND USER INPUTS

Abstract: a method () for providing localization information using an ultrasound system (), comprising: receiving () a plurality of ultrasound images for a first imaged region; receiving (), via a user interface, a user input comprising location information about the first imaged region; processing (), using a trained localization algorithm, both: (i) one or more of the received plurality of ultrasound images and (ii) the received user input to generate a localization report for the first imaged region, the localization report comprising one or more of a coordinate, a contour, and a structure identification; and providing (), via a user interface, the localization report to a user.
