The method includes generating the image via the imaging system and providing the image to a processor of a computing system. Further, the method includes developing and training at least one machine-learned model to automatically identify or locate the medical instrument and optionally at least one machine-learned model to identify or locate the anatomical object and the surrounding tissue in the image. Moreover, the method includes automatically labeling the identified medical instrument and optionally the identified anatomical object and surrounding tissue on the image. Further, the method also includes displaying the labeled image to a user in real-time.
