摘要： In one embodiment, at least one visual characteristic from a selected image is used to automatically select an ultrasound image from a set of images from a plurality of heart cycles. In another embodiment, motion correction is performed on ultrasound images that are automatically selected from a plurality of ultrasound images associated with the same phase of the heart cycle. In yet another embodiment, ultrasound images are automatically selected from a set of images based on a time interval that is within a tolerance range from a reference phase of the heart cycle. In another embodiment, a stored user-preference of a phase of the heart cycle is used to automatically select an ultrasound image from a set of images. In yet another embodiment, a user-defined region of interest is placed on an ultrasound image associated with a selected phase of a heart cycle.

摘要： A method and system are provided for displaying a measurement associated with an anatomical feature. The method includes determining, from ultrasound data, a measurement of such feature and assigning a color based on a comparison between the measurement and reference data of such feature. The feature may be, for example, an artery and the measurement the intima media thickness of the artery. In such example, the method and apparatus display vessel wall thickness from ultrasound imaging data and includes determining from the ultrasound imaging data, intima media thickness along the vessel wall and assigning a color based on the intima media thickness determined and a reference intima media thickness.
