Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a request to determine an A/B ratio of a region of interest (ROI) of an elastography image displayed to a user on a display device, the elastography image including an underlying B-mode image displayed to the user on the display device and an elastography overlay displayed on the underlying B-mode image, the elastography overlay including elastography information of tissue imaged in the underlying B-mode image and measured by an ultrasound probe of an ultrasound system;
in response to receiving the request, adjusting a gain of the elastography overlay of the elastography image to generate a processed elastography image that includes the underlying B-mode image and the adjusted-gain elastography overlay on the underlying B-mode image, the adjusted-gain elastography overlay having a different gain than the elastography overlay that is displayed to the user;
entering the processed elastography image and a selected B-mode image of the ROI as inputs to an A/B ratio model that is trained to output the A/B ratio using the selected B-mode image of the ROI and the processed elastography image of the ROI as inputs, wherein the selected B-mode image is the underlying B-mode image or a different B-mode image that includes the ROI, and wherein the A/B ratio comprises a width and/or an area of the ROI in the elastography overlay relative to a width and/or an area of the ROI in the selected B-mode image; and
displaying the A/B ratio on the display device.
