SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OBTAINING MEDICAL ULTRASOUND IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17776865 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OBTAINING MEDICAL ULTRASOUND IMAGES

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a system for obtaining medical ultrasound images using a probe with an ultrasound transducer. - The system includes a memory with instruction data and a processor that executes these instructions. - The processor receives an ultrasound image from the probe and provides it as input to a trained model. - The model then indicates whether the image is relevant to a medical diagnostic process. - Based on this indication, the processor determines whether to bookmark the image. - The innovation allows for automated analysis of ultrasound images to determine their relevance for medical diagnosis.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for obtaining medical ultrasound images of a subject comprises a probe comprising an ultrasound transducer for capturing an ultrasound image, a memory comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions, and a processor configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an ultrasound image taken by the probe, provide the image as input to a trained model, receive from the model an indication of whether the image comprises an image relevant to a medical diagnostic process, and determine whether to bookmark the image, based on the received indication.
