(54) SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ORIENTATING CAPTURE OF ULTRASOUND IMAGES


(57) A downloadable navigator for a mobile ultrasound unit having an ultrasound probe, implemented on a portable computing device. The navigator includes a trained orientation neural network to receive a non-canonical image of a body part from the mobile ultrasound unit and to generate a transformation associated with the non-canonical image, the transformation transforming from a position and rotation associated with a canonical image to a position and rotation associated with the non-canonical image; and a result converter to convert the transformation into orientation instructions for a user of the probe and to provide and display the orientation instructions to the user to change the position and rotation of the probe.
