The present teaching relates to estimating 3D pose of an ultrasound probe. An ultrasound image is acquired by an ultrasound probe deployed at a three-dimensional (3D) probe pose during a medical procedure directed to a target organ. A mask for each two-dimensional (2D) anatomical structure is identified and a corresponding label is estimated from the ultrasound image to generate an ASM / label pair. If a sequence of prior 3D probe poses does not exist, an ASM / label representation for the ultrasound image is generated based on the ASM / label pairs from the ultrasound image and used to estimate the 3D pose of the probe via an ASM-pose mapping model. If the sequence of prior 3D probe poses exists, the 3D probe pose is predicted based on the sequence of prior 3D probe poses and an ASM / label representation is generated based on a virtual ultrasound image created based on the predicted 3D probe pose.

This invention provides a blood pump, including a rotor assembly, a stator assembly, and a housing. The rotor assembly and stator assembly are axially spaced within the housing along the fluid flow direction. The rotor assembly can rotate around its own axis under the influence of the magnetic field generated by the stator assembly, thereby driving fluid flow. A flow channel is formed in the rotor assembly, having an outlet and an inlet, with the outlet located on the side of the rotor assembly facing the stator assembly. This invention utilizes the flow channel in the rotor assembly to guide blood to the proximal end of the rotor assembly, ensuring the blood flow velocity in the area between the proximal end of the rotor assembly and the stator assembly. This avoids blood clotting caused by a decrease in blood flow velocity within the blood pump, ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotor assembly, and thus guaranteeing the stability of the blood pump operation and the safety of medical procedures.
