Ultrasound image devices, systems, and methods are provided. An ultrasound imaging system comprising a processor circuit configured to receive, from an ultrasound imaging device, a sequence of input image frames of a moving object over a time period, wherein the moving object comprises at least one of an anatomy of a patient or a medical device traversing through the patient's anatomy, and wherein a portion of the moving object is at least partially invisible in a first input image frame of the sequence of input image frames; apply a recurrent predictive network to the sequence of input image frames to generate segmentation data; and output, to a display, a sequence of output image frames based on the segmentation data, wherein the portion of the moving object is fully visible in a first output image frame of the sequence of output image frames.

Segmentation and view guidance in ultrasound imaging and associated devices, systems, and methods

A contrast-enhanced digital tomosynthesis system with a source configured to emit penetrating particles toward an object, a detector configured to acquire a series of projection images of the object in response to the penetrating particles from the source, a positioning apparatus configured to position the source relative to the object and the detector, and an imaging system coupled to the source, the detector, and the positioning apparatus. The imaging system is configured to control the positioning apparatus to position the source and detector relative to the object, control the source and the detector to acquire the series of projection images, and construct a tomographic volume capable of exhibiting super-resolution morphology and contrast-enhancement arising from injection of an exogenous contrast agent from data representing the acquired series of projection images or a subset thereof.
