Abstract
Systems and methods for measuring cardiac output are provided. The systems and methods generate an ultrasound image based on ultrasound imaging data of a patient acquired by an ultrasound probe. The systems and methods automatically designate a region of interest (ROI) within the ultrasound image, and acquire spectral data sets for corresponding candidate Doppler gates within the ROI based on Doppler data acquired by the ultrasound probe. The systems and methods automatically identify a select Doppler gate from the candidate Doppler gates based on a characteristic of the spectral data sets, and calculate a cardiac output of the patient based on the select Doppler gate.
