Claim 11:
12. An ultrasound (US) system, comprising:
a US scanner and a US probe operatively connected to the US scanner; and
at least one electronic processor programmed to:
control the US scanner and the US probe to acquire two dimensional (2D) live images of a region of interest (ROI);
apply a neural network to the 2D live brain images to generate live contours of a tumor and surrounding blood vessels imaged in the 2D live images;
control a display device to present the 2D live images with the live contours superimposed;
interrupt the acquiring of the live images and provide a graphical user interface (GUI) via which selected live images are manually labeled with contours of the tumor and the surrounding blood vessels;
update tune the neural network used to generate the live contours using the selected and labeled live images.
