Claim 14:
15. A method for an ultrasound system, comprising:
displaying an elastography image to a user on a display device, the elastography image including an underlying B-mode image and an overlay on the B-mode image, the overlay including elastography information of tissue imaged in the B-mode image and measured by an ultrasound probe of the ultrasound system, the overlay displayed at a first transparency;
receiving a request to adjust a transparency of the overlay to a second transparency, and in response, adjusting the transparency of the overlay displayed on the display device to the second transparency;
receiving a request to determine an A/B ratio of a region of interest (ROI) of the elastography image displayed to the user on the display device, wherein the A/B ratio is a ratio of a first area of the ROI in the elastography image to a second area of the ROI in the B-mode image;
responsive to receiving the request, further adjusting the transparency of the overlay of the elastography image to a third transparency to generate a processed elastography image, wherein the processed elastography image includes the adjusted-transparency overlay with the third transparency on the underlying B-mode image, and wherein the third transparency is different than the first transparency;
entering the processed elastography image and the underlying B-mode image as inputs to a model trained to output the A/B ratio based on the processed elastography image and the underlying B-mode image; and
outputting the A/B ratio for display on a display device.
