Abstract

Various methods and systems are provided for automatically detecting scan planes of anatomical structures and providing guidance for obtaining target views during an imaging procedure. As one example, a method includes outputting to a user, instructions for navigating a medical imaging probe from a current scan position to a next scan position for obtaining a desired scan plane of a target anatomical structure based on received image data of the target anatomical structure and position data, the position data obtained from a position sensor on the probe, during receiving the image data.
