Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for a medical imaging system. In one embodiment, a method comprises acquiring medical imaging data while executing a first imaging protocol, detecting a potential abnormality by evaluating the acquired medical imaging data with an artificial intelligence system, and outputting a first notification regarding the potential abnormality to a display, the first notification including an option to accept the first notification and an option to reject the first notification. In this way, an operator of an ultrasound imaging system may be alerted to a patient abnormality during a scan, thereby enabling the operator to further evaluate the potential abnormality without distracting the operator from controlling the medical imaging system.
