Embodiment Construction

[0032] The foregoing Summary, together with the following Detailed Description of certain embodiments, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. To the extent that the figures illustrate the functional blocks of various embodiments, the functional blocks are not necessarily indicative of the division between hardware circuitry. Thus, for example, one or more functional blocks (eg, a processor or memory) may be implemented in a single piece of hardware (eg, a general-purpose signal processor or random access memory block, hard disk, etc.) or in multiple pieces of hardware. Similarly, a program can be a stand-alone program, included as a subroutine in an operating system, a function in an installed software package, etc. It should be understood that the various embodiments are not limited to the arrangements and instrumentalities shown in the drawings. It is also to be understood that the embodiments may be combined or other embodiments ...

Abstract

The subject of the invention are a method and system for managing image quality utilizing a generative model. Systems, methods and computer program products are provided to collect ultrasound (US) data. A processor is configured to acquire the US data along one or more acquisition scan planes. The US data defines a plurality of image frames that have a first image quality. The processor is further configured to apply a generative model to at least one of the US data or plurality of image frames to generate a synthetic scan plane image along a synthetic scan plane. The generative model is defined based on one or more training ultrasound data sets. The synthetic scan plane image has an image quality that is common with the first image quality of the plurality of image frames. The system further comprises a display configured to display the synthetic scan plane image.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the disclosure relate to medical imaging. More specifically, certain embodiments relate to methods and systems for utilizing generative models to facilitate diagnostic ultrasound imaging workflows. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging has been used for a variety of applications. During an ultrasound scanning procedure, a clinician attempts to capture a certain anatomical view that confirms / disproves a particular medical condition. Once the clinician is satisfied with the quality of the views and / or scan planes, images are selected to proceed to the measurement phase. For example, ultrasound images are often used to assess the gestational age (GA) and weight of a fetus or to monitor a patient's heart health. Ultrasound measurements of specific features of fetal anatomy, such as the head, abdomen, or femur, from two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) image data are used to determine GA, assess growth patterns, and identi...
