An ultrasound imaging system and method includes acquiring low-resolution volume data with an ultrasound probe during the process of acquiring high-resolution slice data of a plane with the ultrasound probe. The ultrasound imaging system and method includes displaying an ultrasound image on a display device based on the high-resolution slice data, generating a low-resolution volume based on the low-resolution volume data, and implementing, with a processor, a neural network to calculate guidance information based on the low-resolution volume. The ultrasound imaging system and method includes automatically performing an action with the processor based on the guidance information.

Ultrasound imaging system and method for low-resolution background volume acquisition

An ultrasound imaging system and method includes identifying, with a processor, a subset of the ultrasound channel data with a specular reflector signature, and implementing, with the processor, a specular reflector processing technique on the subset of the ultrasound channel data to calculate at least one of a position and an orientation of a specular reflector. The system and method includes performing an action based on at least one of the position and the orientation of the specular reflector.

Ultrasound imaging system and method for tracking a specular reflector

An ultrasound system comprises an ultrasound probe for transmitting transmit beams and receiving receive beams. A processor controls the ultrasound probe to direct the transmit beams in a first direction to acquire a first incidence frame of data and a second direction to acquire an second incidence frame of data, wherein the first and second directions are different with respect to each other. A tissue characterization module compares the normal and oblique incidence frames of data to determine at least one property parameter of a scanned medium based on amplitude differences between the receive beams.
