Embodiment Construction

[0054] The present invention, in some of its embodiments, relates to medical imaging adjustments, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a system and method for adjusting ultrasound images of fetal anatomy.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method and system for concealing an image portion in an ultrasound image, such as a genital image portion, wherein the image portion is located according to a predefined position according to an identified and Predefined location anatomical attribute(s) of the one or more anatomical landmarks that are not hidden are located and computed. This image portion is referred to herein as a genital region of interest (ROI). For example, anatomical landmarks are optionally identified by segmenting and classifying image objects in the ultrasound images. For example as described below, image objects are optionally classified according to their structural features such as form factor, contour ...

Abstract

A computerized method of adapting a presentation of ultrasonographic images during an ultrasonographic fetal evaluation. The method comprises performing an analysis of a plurality of ultrasonographic images captured by an ultrasonographic probe during an evaluation of a fetus, automatically identifying at least one location of at least one anatomical landmark of at least one reference organ or tissue or body fluid of the fetus in the plurality of ultrasonographic images based on an outcome of the analysis, automatically localizing a region of interest (ROI) in at least some of the plurality of ultrasonographic images by using at least one predefined locational anatomical property of the at least one anatomical landmark, and concealing the ROI in a presentation of the at least some ultrasonographic images during the evaluation. At least one anatomical landmark is imaged in the presentation and not concealed by the ROI.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention, in some of its embodiments, relates to medical imaging adjustments, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a system and method for adjusting ultrasound images of fetal anatomy. [0002] Ultrasound (US) screening during pregnancy is used to identify fetal anatomical abnormalities and malformations. This has become a common practice around the world. Increased availability, reduced cost, and improved accuracy of ultrasound have led to its use for sex determination, which in turn is used for sex-selective abortion, in certain Southeast Asian countries. This has led to significant sex ratio differences with long-lasting effects, which pose serious social problems for the country. Contents of the invention [0003] According to an aspect of some embodiments of the invention there is provided a computerized method of adapting the presentation of ultrasound images during ultrasound fetal assessment. The method includes p...
