Abstract
An ultrasound scanner scans a patient. The scan data is checked for an optimal view as a subpart of the scan. Where the field of view does not include the optimal view, the scan is repeated with a different spatial extent. Where the field of view does include the optimal view, then the scan data for that optimal view is used to generate an image. Both the view and the overall or broader scan are controlled together so that a sonographer may place the transducer at an approximate location to still provide a precise view.
