Claim 11:
12. An image processing system comprising:
a processor, and a non-transitory memory including instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
predict a displacement between a first scan plane of a medical image of an anatomical neighborhood acquired via a probe and a second, target scan plane of the anatomical neighborhood, using a trained scan plane displacement prediction network, the scan plane displacement prediction network trained on a dataset of training pairs, each training pair including:
a first medical image of the anatomical neighborhood and a second medical image of the anatomical neighborhood as input data, and
a displacement between a scan plane of the first medical image and a scan plane of the second medical image as ground truth target data; and

based on the predicted displacement, display probe guidance information to a user of the image processing system via a display device communicably coupled to the image processing system and/or store the probe guidance information in a storage device communicably coupled to the image processing system.
