1. An ultrasound system, comprising:
a processor configured for communication with a transducer array of an ultrasound imaging probe, wherein the processor is configured to:
control the transducer array to obtain a first ultrasound image with a first set of one or more ultrasound parameters, wherein the first ultrasound image comprises an anatomical feature;
generate, using a machine learning algorithm, a first score associated with the first ultrasound image, wherein the machine learning algorithm is trained using a reference ultrasound image, wherein the first score is based on a completeness of view measurement of the anatomical feature and comprises at least one of a lateral presence measurement, an axial presence measurement, or an elevational presence measurement;
compare the first score to a threshold score;
automatically determine, based on the first score not satisfying the threshold score, a second set of one or more ultrasound parameters; and
control the transducer array to obtain a second ultrasound image with the second set of one or more ultrasound parameters.
