Abstract
An ultrasound system includes a processor circuit that receives an ultrasound image obtained according to a set of ultrasound system settings. The processor circuit determines a quality index representative of the visibility of an anatomical feature for the ultrasound image. In response to determining that the quality index does not meet or exceed a threshold quality index, the processor circuit may provide an output for a new set of ultrasound system settings corresponding to an improvement in quality index. The processor circuit then receives an additional ultrasound image corresponding to the new ultrasound system settings, determines an additional quality index for the additional ultrasound image, determines that the quality index exceeds the threshold quality index, and records the additional ultrasound image.
