IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH LIVE EXAMINATION COMPLETENESS MONITOR
First Claim
1. An ultrasound imaging method comprising:
- accessing an imaging protocol for an ultrasound imaging session, the imaging protocol including one or more designated views that are to be obtained to complete the imaging protocol;
acquiring image data with an ultrasound imaging system, where the image data comprises a plurality of different obtained views from a plurality of different positions;
automatically identifying, with artificial intelligence, a portion of the image data corresponding to one of the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol, wherein the portion of the image data is automatically identified as the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol in a sequence other than a designated sequence;
storing, in a memory, the portion of the image data corresponding to the one of the one or more designated views of imaging protocol; and
displaying, on a display device, a graphical progress-of-completeness indicator of the imaging protocol that indicates that one or more of;
the one of the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol has been acquired or that one or more additional designated views of the imaging protocol is yet to be acquired.

Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system and method accesses an imaging protocol for an ultrasound imaging session. The imaging protocol includes designated views that are to be obtained to complete the imaging protocol. Image data is acquired with an ultrasound imaging system, and artificial intelligence is used to identify a portion of the image data corresponding to at least one of the designated views of the imaging protocol. The identified portion of the image data corresponding to the designated view(s) of imaging protocol is automatically saved, and a graphical progress-of-completeness indicator of the imaging protocol is displayed that indicates that one or more of: the designated views of the imaging protocol that have been acquired and/or that one or more additional designated views of the imaging protocol have yet to be acquired.

13. An ultrasound imaging system comprising:
-
an ultrasound imaging probe configured to acquire image data during an ultrasound imaging session, the image data including a plurality of different obtained views from a plurality of different positions; one or more processors configured to access accessing an imaging protocol for the ultrasound imaging session, the imaging protocol including one or more designated views that are to be obtained to complete the imaging protocol, the one or more processors configured to automatically identify a portion of the image data corresponding to one of the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol, the one or more processors configured to identify the portion of the image data as the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol in a sequence other than a designated sequence; and a memory configured to automatically store the portion of the image data corresponding to the one of the one or more designated views of imaging protocol, wherein the one or more processors are configured to direct a display device to display a graphical progress-of-completeness indicator of the imaging protocol that indicates that one or more of;
the one of the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol has been acquired or that one or more additional designated views of the imaging protocol is yet to be acquired. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

accessing an imaging protocol for an ultrasound imaging session, the imaging protocol including one or more designated views that are to be obtained to complete the imaging protocol; acquiring image data with an imaging system, where the image data comprises a plurality of different obtained views from a plurality of different positions; automatically identifying, with artificial intelligence, a portion of the image data corresponding to one of the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol, wherein the portion of the image data is automatically identified as the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol in a sequence other than a designated sequence; automatically storing, in a memory, the portion of the image data corresponding to the one of the one or more designated views of imaging protocol; and displaying, on a display device, a graphical progress-of-completeness indicator of the imaging protocol and the portion of the image data that corresponds with the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol, the graphical progress-of-completeness indicator indicating that one or more of;
the one of the one or more designated views of the imaging protocol has been acquired or that one or more additional designated views of the imaging protocol is yet to be acquired. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
