Abstract
A method for providing artifact detection and visualization during ultrasound image collection is performed by a processor in an ultrasound system. The method includes receiving ultrasound image data from an ultrasound probe, detecting areas with artifacts in the ultrasound image data, classifying the areas with artifacts into one of a plurality of available artifact classes, generating an indication of the areas with artifact for an ultrasound-based image, wherein the indications include a designation of the artifact class, and presenting to an operator the ultrasound-based image and the indication of the areas with artifacts.
