1. A computer-implemented method for obtaining anatomical measurements in an ultrasound image, the method comprising:
receiving user input data representing a set of user-selected points within the ultrasound image, wherein the set of user-selected points comprises two or more user-selected points;
identifying, within the ultrasound image, an anatomical region corresponding to a location of at least one of the set of user-selected points;
identifying a geometrical characteristic of the set of user-selected points;
accessing a pre-stored set of measurement templates, each measurement template in the pre-stored set of measurement templates being associated with one or more known anatomical regions and geometrical characteristics;
selecting a measurement template associated with the identified anatomical region and geometrical characteristic; and
deriving an anatomical measurement from the set of user-defined points, using the measurement template,
wherein identifying the geometrical characteristic includes identifying shape information relating to a line or pattern described by at least a subset of the set of user-selected points such that the shape information is distinct from the location of the at least one of the set of user-selected points.
