Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting features in ultrasound images and delineating boundaries that representative of the detected features. A method can include determining a boundary of a feature in a displayed ultrasound image, determining a closed polygon that represents the feature based on the boundary, and determining information of the feature using the dimensions of the closed polygon. The ultrasound image and graphical representations of the feature (e.g., the boundary, the closed polygon) can be displayed in a user interface on a touch screen display. The method can include receiving user input indicative of a location of the feature, and adjusting the feature boundary and closed polygon based on user input. The method can also include determining an area and/or a perimeter of the feature based on the closed polygon.
