System and method for identifying an optimal image frame for ultrasound imaging

摘要

A method for identifying an optimal image frame is presented. The method includes receiving a selection of an anatomical region of interest in an object of interest. Furthermore, the method includes obtaining a plurality of image frames corresponding to the selected anatomical region of interest. The method also includes determining a real-time indicator corresponding to the plurality of acquired image frames, wherein the real-time indicator is representative of quality of an image frame. In addition, the method includes communicating the real-time indicator to aid in selecting an optimal image frame. Systems and non-transitory computer readable medium configured to perform the method for identifying an optimal image frame are also presented.

1. A method for identifying an optimal image frame, comprising:
receiving, by a rating platform, a selection of an anatomical region of interest in an object of interest; obtaining, by an acquisition subsystem, a plurality of image frames corresponding to the selected anatomical region of interest; enhancing, by the rating platform, a contrast of one or more features of interest in the plurality of image frames; computing, by the rating platform, a quality metric representative of a quality of the plurality of image frames by comparing the plurality of image frames with a determined model, wherein the determined model comprises an atlas corresponding to the one or more features of interest in the plurality of image frames, and wherein the atlas is generated based on a shape-based averaging; determining, by the rating platform, a real-time indicator corresponding to the plurality of acquired image frames, wherein the real-time indicator is representative of a quality of an image frame; and communicating, by the rating platform, the real-time indicator to aid in selecting an optimal image frame.
