Abstract
The present disclosure describes ultrasound imaging systems and methods for ultrasonically inspecting biological tissue. An ultrasound imaging system according to the present disclosure may be configured to automatically apply tissue-specific imaging parameter settings () based upon the automatic identification of the type of tissue being scanned. Tissue type identification () may be performed automatically for the images in the live image stream () and thus adjustments to the imaging settings may be applied automatically by using a neural network () and thus dynamically during the exam obviating the need for the sonographer to manually switch presets or adjust the imaging settings when moving to different portion of the anatomy.
