METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A GUIDED WORKFLOW THROUGH A SERIES OF ULTRASOUND IMAGE ACQUISITIONS WITH REFERENCE IMAGES UPDATED BASED ON A DETERMINED ANATOMICAL POSITION

摘要

A system and method for providing a guided workflow through a series of ultrasound image acquisitions with reference images updated based on a determined anatomical position is provided. The method includes acquiring and displaying, by an ultrasound system, at least one ultrasound image of an anatomy. The method includes determining, by at least one processor, a position of the anatomy depicted in the at least one ultrasound image. The method includes automatically selecting and displaying, by the at least one processor, reference images corresponding to pre-defined views of an ultrasound examination. An orientation of anatomy depicted in the selected and displayed reference images is based on the determined position of the anatomy. The method includes acquiring and displaying, by the ultrasound system, additional ultrasound images of the anatomy corresponding to the selected and displayed reference images. The additional ultrasound images include pre-defined views of the ultrasound examination.
