摘要：
Described is a method for providing positioning suggestions to the user of a physiological sensor and a kit for configuring an ultrasound system to provide positioning suggestions. The method includes steps of receiving an ultrasound image from an ultrasound probe, processing the ultrasound image to identify a set of features, determining from the set of features whether the ultrasound probe is correctly aligned, and determining an action suggestion to be given to a user of the ultrasound probe to improve its alignment. The kit includes a display monitor and a real-time video processor for interfacing with the ultrasound system to receive an ultrasound image from an ultrasound probe, process the ultrasound image to determine a set of positioning information, produce a set of positioning suggestion information for adjusting the positioning of the ultrasound probe, and transmit the set of positioning suggestion information to the display monitor for display.
