Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for semi-automated, portable, ultrasound guided cannulation. The systems and methods provide for image analysis to provide for segmentation of vessels of interest from image data. The image analysis provides for guidance for insertion of a cannulation system into a subject which may be accomplished by a non-expert based upon the guidance provided. The guidance may include an indicator or a mechanical guide to guide a user for inserting the vascular cannulation system into a subject to penetrate the vessel of interest.
