Embodiment Construction

[0026] Ultrasound technicians can capture hundreds of images and videos during an ultrasound procedure. To image the patient directly, the ultrasound technologist will have a general idea of ​​the position of the portion of the patient being imaged based on the position of the ultrasound probe relative to the patient. For example only, when the ultrasound probe is placed on the right side of a patient's body, the ultrasound technician will know or be able to easily confirm that the right side of her / his body is being imaged. However, with regard to fetal ultrasound, since the fetus can be oriented in three dimensions within the patient, it may not be easy to determine the portion of the fetus being imaged. Additionally, the fetus may change position during the ultrasound procedure. As described more fully herein, it may be important for the ultrasound technician to understand the position and orientation of the fetus within the patient for various aspects of the ultrasound pr...

Abstract

Techniques for determining a position of a fetus during an ultrasound imaging procedure are disclosed. The technique may include obtaining an ultrasound image of an intrauterine fetus. The fetus will include a torso and a spine, and the ultrasound image may include a circumferential view of the torso of the fetus. The circumferential view may include at least (i) an outer boundary of the torso, and (ii) a spine including three landmarks arranged in a triangular orientation. The technique may also include superimposing the fetal overlay based on alignment instructions corresponding to alignments between the outer boundary of the torso and the three landmarks to obtain an augmented reality image of the fetus. The fetal overlay may include graphical elements indicative of left and right sides of the fetus. An augmented reality image of a fetus may be output on a display of an ultrasound machine.
