Abstract
Regarding mobile handheld ultrasound devices, in particular, we will provide guidance for their proper use. [Solution] A downloadable navigator for a mobile ultrasound unit having an ultrasound probe, the navigator being implemented on a mobile computing device. The navigator includes a trained orientation neural network that receives non-standard images of body parts from a mobile ultrasound unit and generates transformations associated with the non-standard images, wherein the transformations are a conversion from position and rotation associated with standard images to position and rotation associated with non-standard images, and a results converter that converts the transformations into orientation indicators for the user of the probe and provides and displays the orientation indicators to the user to change the position and rotation of the probe.
