Abstract
A method and a system for acquiring a 3D ultrasound image. The method includes receiving a request to capture a plurality of ultrasound image for a medical test corresponding to a medical condition. The method further includes determining a body part corresponding to the medical test. Further, the method includes identifying an imaging site particular to the medical test. Furthermore, the method includes providing a navigational guidance to the user in real time for positioning a handheld ultrasound device. Subsequently, the user is assisted to capture the plurality of ultrasound image of the imaging site in real time using deep learning. Further, the plurality of ultrasound images of the imaging site is captured. Finally, the method includes converting the plurality of ultrasound image to a 3-Dimensional (3D) ultrasound image in real time.
