Abstract
A method includes generating a series of two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images of the tissue volume associated with a plurality of positions, respectively. The method includes, for a respective pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images of the series of 2D ultrasound images: generating a difference image from the respective pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images; estimating, using a deep neural network, an estimated distance between the positions associated with the respective pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images based on a classification of the difference image, wherein the deep neural network is trained to classify the difference image based on one of a plurality of predefined classes. The method includes rendering the 3D ultrasound image of the tissue volume based on the series of 2D ultrasound images and the estimated distance.
