Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system is disclosed that includes an ultrasound probe including a plurality of ultrasound transducers configured to acquire ultrasound images, a processor and non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon logic that, when executed by the processor, is configured to perform operations including receiving ultrasound imaging data, detecting one or more blood vessels within the ultrasound imaging data, identifying at least one blood vessel of the one or more blood vessels as an artery or as a vein, and rendering a visualization of at least a subset of the one or more blood vessels on a display. The logic may, when executed by the processor, cause performances of further operations including identifying the at least one blood vessel as the artery at least one differentiating characteristic of a plurality of differentiating characteristics of blood vessel type.
