    摘要: An ultrasound imaging apparatus (20) is disclosed, comprising a data interface (30) configured to receive a plurality of different ultrasound data sets (26, 28) resulting from an ultrasound scan of an object (18) in different viewing directions. The ultrasound imaging apparatus further comprises a segmentation unit (32) for segmenting anatomical structures of the object in the different ultrasound data sets and for providing segmentation data of the anatomical structures, and a reference determining unit (34) for determining a spatial reference (48, 50, 52, 54) for the different ultrasound data sets on the basis of the segmentation data. A confidence determining unit (40) is included for determining confidence values (56) for different regions of the received ultrasound data on the basis of the spatial reference.

    摘要: An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a controller (18), a processor (12), and an image generator (15). The controller (18) selects at least one transducer element in a reception aperture formed of a transducer element group arranged in a predetermined direction, based on at least one of a deflection angle of an ultrasonic wave, an angle between the predetermined direction and a direction indicating a boundary of a structure, and an angle between a direction perpendicular to a normal direction where the predetermined direction intersects with a center of the transducer element group and the direction indicating the boundary. The processor (12) performs processing such that a signal intensity of a reception signal generated in the at least one transducer element is reduced, to output the reception signal of the reception aperture. The image generator (15) generates ultrasonic image data, based on the reception signal.
