Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for mapping a section of a vasculature of a subject are described herein, including moving a probe to a first position adjacent the section of the vasculature; transmitting, by the probe, a first ultra-sound beam into a first portion of the section of the vasculature through the body of the subject; receiving first ultra-sound data including at least one imaging parameter; moving the probe to a second position at the body of the subject adjacent the section of the vasculature and different from the first position; transmitting, by the probe, a second ultrasound beam into a second portion of the section of the vasculature through the body of the subject; receiving second ultrasound data including the at least one imaging parameter; and constructing a map of the section of the vasculature based on the first ultrasound data and the second ultrasound data.
