An ultrasound imaging system and method accesses an imaging protocol for an ultrasound imaging session. The imaging protocol includes designated views that are to be obtained to complete the imaging protocol. Image data is acquired with an ultrasound imaging system, and artificial intelligence is used to identify a portion of the image data corresponding to at least one of the designated views of the imaging protocol. The identified portion of the image data corresponding to the designated view(s) of imaging protocol is automatically saved, and a graphical progress-of-completeness indicator of the imaging protocol is displayed that indicates that one or more of: the designated views of the imaging protocol that have been acquired and/or that one or more additional designated views of the imaging protocol have yet to be acquired.
