1. An ultrasound imaging system, comprising:
an ultrasound probe;
a display;
a processor; and
memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
acquire a first ultrasound image of a source scan plane with the ultrasound probe at a first location relative to a patient;
enter the first ultrasound image as input to a probe recommendation model trained to output a first recommendation to move the ultrasound probe from the first location to a second location at which a first target scan plane can be imaged and a second recommendation to move the ultrasound probe from the first location to a third location at which a second target scan plane can be imaged;
display the first recommendation and the second recommendation on the display; and
acquire a second ultrasound image of the first target scan plane at the second location with the ultrasound probe,
wherein the probe recommendation model is trained with a first loss function determined based on a first output transformation relative to a first ground truth transformation, a second loss function based on a second output transformation relative to a second ground truth transformation, and a third loss function based on the first output transformation relative to the second output transformation.
