Abstract
An ultrasound system includes a processor and an ultrasound transducer array. The processor receives a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound () image from the transducer array. The first and second ultrasound images may be perpendicular to one another. The processor generates a score associated with the first ultrasound image and compares the score to a threshold score. Based on the score not satisfying the threshold score, the processor then determines a new imaging plane and directs the transducer array to obtain a third ultrasound image () according to the new imaging plane. The third ultrasound image may also be perpendicular to the second ultrasound image. The processor circuit then displays the third ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image. The processor circuit also identifies an angle corresponding to the new imaging plane and displays an indicator () overlaid over the second ultrasound image identifying the new imaging plane of the third ultrasound image.
