AI-acquired standardized planes. Example ultrasound images acquired in clinical settings with the on-cart, AI-based software, illustrating automated acquisition and anatomic annotation of three standard planes: (A) S5 dorsal longitudinal plane of the wrist joint, (B) S11 transverse section of the proximal carpal tunnel, and (C) S14 transverse section of the second and third flexor tendons. A1 = trochlea A1, Cap = capitate, C-M.JS = recess of the capitate-metacarpal joint, D&Ss = flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis tendons, FCR = flexor carpi radialis tendon, FD = flexor digitorum tendon, FPL = flexor pollicis longus tendon, L-C.JS = recess of the lunate-capitate joint, Lun = lunate, MN = median nerve, Pis = pisiform, Rad = radius, R-C.JS = recess of the radiocarpal joint, Sca = scaphoid, UA = ulnar artery, UN = ulnar nerve, 3rd Met = third metacarpal.
