Abstract
The current disclosure provides systems and methods for providing guidance information to an operator of a medical imaging device. In an embodiment, a method is provided, comprising training a deep learning neural network on training pairs including a first medical image of an anatomical neighborhood and a second medical image of the anatomical neighborhood as input data, and a ground truth displacement between a first scan plane of the first medical image and a second scan plane of the second medical image as target data; using the neural network to predict a displacement between a first scan plane of a new medical image of the anatomical neighborhood and a target scan plane of a reference medical image of the anatomical neighborhood; and displaying guidance information for an imaging device used to acquire the new medical image on a display screen.
