AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the standard view detection algorithm for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probes requires a large number of images for training, which leads to a decrease in detection accuracy.

Method used

An automatic detection method based on deep neural networks is adopted. By acquiring ultrasound images at a zero-degree full-plane angle, a view detection processor and a view labeling processor are used to automatically identify and label standard TEE views, and the full-plane angle is adjusted in the background to improve detection accuracy.

Benefits of technology

The number of training images was reduced, improving the accuracy of standard view detection in TEE ultrasound examinations and simplifying the operation process.

Abstract

A system and method are provided for automatically detecting a two-dimensional standard view in a transesophageal ultrasound image. The method includes acquiring a first ultrasound image at a first depth and a first full-plane angle. The first ultrasound image corresponds to a first standard view. The first full-plane angle is an angle other than zero (0) degrees. The method includes adjusting the first full-plane angle to a second full-plane angle of 0 degrees. The method includes acquiring a second ultrasound image at the first depth and the second full-plane angle. The method includes automatically analyzing the second ultrasound image to identify a second standard view corresponding to the second full-plane angle. The method includes automatically determining the first standard view based on the second standard view and the first full-plane angle. The method includes causing a display system to display the first ultrasound image having a first identifier of the first standard view.
