Articulating arm for analyzing anatomical objects using deep learning networks

The present invention is directed to a method for scanning, identifying, and navigating anatomical object(s) of a patient via an articulating arm of an imaging system. The method includes scanning the anatomical object via a probe of the imaging system, identifying the anatomical object, and navigating the anatomical object via the probe. The method also includes collecting data relating to the anatomical object during the scanning, identifying, and navigating steps. Further, the method includes inputting the collected data into a deep learning network configured to learn the scanning, identifying, and navigating steps relating to the anatomical object. Moreover, the method includes controlling the probe via the articulating arm based on the deep learning network.
