摘要:
A method for quantifying vascularity of a structure or a portion thereof comprises producing a plurality of two dimensional (2-D) high-frequency ultrasound image slices through at least a portion of the structure, wherein the structure or portion thereof is located within a subject, processing at least two of the plurality of 2-D ultrasound image slices to produce a three dimensional (3-D) volume image and quantifying the vascularity of the structure or portion thereof.

摘要:
A method of creating an image difference overlay comprises identifying a loop of reference images of a subject and identifying a loop of data images of the subject. The loop of image data can be identified after an event, such as the administration of contrast agent to the subject. A reference loop image frame is compared to one or more data loop image frames and the reference loop frame is associated with a data loop image frame which closely resembles the data loop image frame. Each of the associated frames can then be processed and used to create an image difference overlay frame.

摘要:
In general, the invention provides methods for use in the acquisition and display of ultrasound images. In particular, the invention provides methods for displaying ultrasound images using gating of ultrasound acquisition based on subject respiration and/or triggering ultrasound acquisition based on subject ECG. The methods may be employed with any suitable ultrasound system.
