Abstract
For ultrasound-based proxy estimation with an ultrasound scanner, one or more ultrasound measurements are converted to a biomarker of a different modality, such as providing a measurement of a standard biomarker from histology or a lab test assay. The conversion uses a user-selected model, allowing for selection of one of various models relating ultrasound measurements to the biomarker. The ultrasound scan sequence may be optimized to the one or more biomarkers and the user-selected model. This improvement in use of ultrasound measurements relative to standard biomarkers may more likely result in acceptance of the less costly and more easily obtained ultrasound measures in diagnosis.
