Abstract
A system may include an ultrasound probe and a controller unit configured to aim the ultrasound probe to transabdominally image a patient's prostate and obtain a transabdominal image of the patient's prostate using the aimed ultrasound probe. The controller unit may be further configured to perform a segmentation process on the obtained transabdominal image of the patient's prostate using a trained machine learning model to identify a boundary of the prostate in the transabdominal image of the patient's prostate.
