Abstract
A method of determining a three-dimensional motion of a movable ultrasound probe () is described. The method is carried out during acquisition of an ultrasound image of a volume portion () by the ultrasound probe. The method comprises receiving a stream of ultrasound image data () from the ultrasound probe () while the ultrasound probe is moved along the volume portion (); inputting at least a sub-set of the ultrasound image data () representing a plurality of ultrasound image frames () into a machine-learning module (), wherein the machine learning module () has been trained to determine the relative three-dimensional motion between ultrasound image frames (); and determining, by the machine-learning module (), a three-dimensional motion indicator () indicating the relative three-dimensional motion between the ultrasound image frames.
