A camera (20) is mounted at the distal end of the tube in a fixed spatial relationship to the ultrasound transducer. At least one electronic processor (28) is programmed to: control the ultrasound transducer and the camera to acquire ultrasound images (19) and camera images (21) respectively while the ultrasound transducer is disposed in vivo inside the patient; and construct a keyframe (36) representative of an in vivo position of the ultrasound transducer including at least ultrasound image features (38) extracted from at least one of the ultrasound images acquired at the in vivo position of the ultrasound transducer and camera image features (40) extracted from one of the camera images acquired at the in vivo position of the ultrasound transducer.

Provided is an ultrasound imaging device and an operation method thereof. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an ultrasound imaging device comprising: an ultrasound probe; a display unit; a memory for storing at least one instruction; and a processor for executing the at least one instruction stored in the memory, wherein the processor: image-processes an echo signal to acquire multiple ultrasound images; calculates suitability indicating, as a numerical value, whether the multiple acquired ultrasound images are suitable as input images for a diagnosis algorithm for diagnosing a lesion; displays the calculated suitability on the display unit; and determines an input ultrasound image, which is to be input into the diagnosis algorithm, among the multiple ultrasound images based on the suitability.

In a dematerialized ultrasound system, i.e. comprising a probe for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals and a generic processing hardware made of one or more distributed processing units, the functions relating to the processing steps for the generation and processing of the images are in the form of software programs that encode instructions for the aforementioned generic hardware which make it capable of executing said processing steps.
