Abstract
A facility for processing a medical imaging image is described. The facility applies to the image a first machine learning model trained to recognize a view to which an image corresponds, and a second machine learning model trained to identify any of a set of anatomical features visualized in an image. The facility accesses a list of permitted anatomical features for images corresponding to the recognized view, and filters the identified anatomical features to exclude any not on the accessed list. The facility causes the accessed image to be displayed, overlaid with a visual indication of each of the filtered identified anatomical features.
