Abstract
Systems and methods for automated recording of an ultrasound clip are based on quality scores of ultrasound images in a sequence of ultrasound image frames. An ultrasound imaging system includes a probe for capturing ultrasound images, an image buffer to store a sequence of image frames, a quality buffer to store a sequence of quality scores, and a computing subsystem that automatically records an ultrasound clip when the quality scores in the quality buffer corresponding to a set of contiguous image frames in the image buffer equal or exceed a first quality threshold and the set of contiguous image frames is at least a first predetermined size. Additionally, a smart capture feature automatically records an ultrasound clip including an alternate set of contiguous image frames having quality scores equaling or exceeding a second quality threshold that is less than the first quality threshold and meets a second predetermined size.
