1. An apparatus, comprising:
an ultrasound imaging probe;
a memory;
a processor configured for communication with the ultrasound imaging probe and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
control, with an output of a motion control configuration, the ultrasound imaging probe to be physically repositioned from a first imaging position to a second imaging position;
control the ultrasound imaging probe to obtain an ultrasound image representative of a subject's body while the ultrasound imaging probe is positioned at the second imaging position;
retrieve a target imaging position for the ultrasound imaging probe from the memory;
determine a score based on a comparison between the second imaging position and the target imaging position;
generate a data tuple comprising the ultrasound image, the motion control configuration, and the score; and
store the data tuple in the memory and train a predictive network for aligning the imaging probe to the target imaging position based on the data tuple.
