Patent ID: 11903768

Abstract:
A system and method for automatically adjusting beamformer parameters based on ultrasound image analysis to enhance ultrasound image acquisition is provided. The method includes acquiring, by an ultrasound system, an ultrasound image. The method includes segmenting, by at least one processor, the ultrasound image to identify anatomical structure(s) and/or image artifact(s) in the ultrasound image. The method includes detecting, by the at least one processor, a location of each of the identified anatomical structure(s) and/or image artifact(s). The method includes automatically adjusting, by the at least one processor, at least one beamformer parameter based on the detected location of one or more of the identified anatomical structure(s) and/or the image artifact(s). The method includes acquiring, by the ultrasound system, an enhanced ultrasound image based on the automatically adjusted at least one beamformer parameter. The method includes presenting, at a display system, the enhanced ultrasound image.
