Abstract
A guidance system is configured to detect a current pose of an ultrasound transducer and to determine a movement to achieve a desired pose associated with a desired view or imaging plane of a patients anatomy. In one embodiment, the guidance system includes a processor circuit in communication with the ultrasound transducer. The processor circuit is configured to: receive an input associated with a desired pose of the ultrasound transducer; receive ultrasound imaging data representative of a field of view of the ultrasound transducer in a current pose; determine a movement to align the current pose of the ultrasound transducer with the desired pose; and generate a graphical representation of the movement. The graphical representation shows both the current pose of the ultrasound transducer and the desired pose of the ultrasound transducer. The graphical representation is output to a display in communication with the processor circuit.
