Claim 0:
1. A computer implemented method for evaluating a performance of a user in capturing an image of an anatomical region, the image being for organ analysis, the method comprising:
generating the image based on a position of an imaging probe;
assigning a probe score based on the position of the imaging probe being manipulated by the user compared to a previously determined valid probe position for a given view of the anatomical region;
assigning an image score by processing the image associated with the position of the imaging probe using an automated machine learning model trained on a dataset of labelled training images associated with different imaging probe positions, the training images comprising both valid and invalid images, the image score provided by the trained machine learning model being indicative of a likelihood that the image is valid on the basis of similarities with the valid images; and
providing for output the probe score and the image score together providing an indication of whether the user has correctly positioned the imaging probe and of whether the image associated with the position and which has been generated at the probe position is usable for organ analysis.
