Problems solved by technology
However, it has been recognized that there may be some challenges regarding such localization methods
For example, manually finding the proper posture of the patient and / or the proper position and orientation of the imaging device just by looking at the displayed images can be difficult, time consuming, and result in less accurate positioning, especially for unskilled users

The title of the invention is machine-guided imaging techniques. A method includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) surface map associated with a patient from a patient sensor, generating a 3D patient space from the 3D surface map associated with the patient, determining a current pose associated with the patient based on the 3D surface map associated with the patient, comparing the current pose with a desired pose associated with the patient with respect to an imaging system, determining a recommended movement based on the comparison between the current pose and the desired pose, and providing an indication of the recommended movement. The desired pose facilitates imaging of an anatomical feature of the patient by the imaging system and the recommended movement may reposition the patient in the desired pose.
Description
Background technique [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to medical imaging, and more particularly, to systems and methods for guiding medical imaging positioning and alignment. [0002] Proper performance of a medical imaging technique typically involves positioning the patient in an appropriate posture and / or placing the imaging device in an appropriate orientation and / or location based on the particular type of medical imaging technique. Such medical imaging techniques may include ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (cT), and X-ray imaging. The operator may position the patient in an appropriate posture and / or place the imaging device in an appropriate orientation and location to acquire a desired anatomy or region of interest (eg, a desired tissue or body region to be imaged) in a desired scan plane. With respect to ultrasound imaging, by viewing real-time images of acquired ultrasound data on a monitor of the ultrasoun...
