Abstract

Systems and methods for artifact reduction in ultrasound imaging comprising acquiring a sequence of ultrasound images using an ultrasound probe along an acquisition plane, tracking a movement of the ultrasound probe along the acquisition plane and a movement of one or more artifacts in the sequence of ultrasound images, identifying one or more artifacts in the sequence of ultrasound images using the movement of the ultrasound probe along the acquisition plane and the movement of the one or more artifacts, wherein the movement of the one or more artifacts is different from the movement of the ultrasound probe along the acquisition plane, and correcting the sequence of ultrasound images, by at least one of adjusting a gain of the artifacts or stitching artifact areas of the sequence of ultrasound images with non-artifact areas of the sequence of ultrasound images.
