Claim 12:
13. A computer implemented method for assessing whether an image of an internal anatomical region is usable for organ analysis, the method comprising:
generating the image of the anatomical region based on an imaging probe position;
processing the generated image using one or more automated machine learning models trained on datasets of labelled training images, the labelled training images being associated with an imaging probe positioned at different positions relative to a training manikin, a human or an animal, the labelled training images having been classified as valid or invalid images by assigning a label thereto, a valid image corresponding to a target cut plane of an organ, and at least some of the invalid images corresponding to a cut plane where the organ is at least partially hidden or incorrectly oriented, the automated machine learning model(s) determining whether the generated image is usable for organ analysis by outputting an image score indicative of a likelihood that the image is valid on the basis of similarities with the labelled training images classified as valid; and
providing for output a visual or audible indication of whether the generated image corresponds to the target cut plane based on said determination.
