1. A method for an image processing system, comprising:
training a deep learning (DL) neural network on training pairs including a first medical image of an anatomical neighborhood and a second medical image of the anatomical neighborhood as input data, and a ground truth displacement between a first scan plane of the first medical image and a second scan plane of the second medical image as target data;
using the trained DL neural network to predict a displacement between a first scan plane of a new medical image of the anatomical neighborhood and a target scan plane of a reference medical image of the anatomical neighborhood; and
displaying guidance information for a handheld imaging device used to acquire the new medical image on a display screen of the image processing system based on the predicted displacement and/or storing the guidance information for further processing.
