Ultrasound scanning is an imaging technique that aids medical professionals in diagnostics and interventional procedures. However, a trained human-in-the-loop (HITL) with a radiologist is required to perform the scanning procedure. We seek to create a novel ultrasound system that can provide imaging in the absence of a trained radiologist, say for patients in the field who suffered injuries after ...
