Abstract :
It is envisioned that tablet based ultrasound systems will be targeting non-expert users in the near future. However ultrasound is operator dependent and requires an extensive training process. The aim of this work is to provide visual guidance during scanning and as such improve the understanding of the anatomy that is currently being imaged.
