Abstract: A method and ultrasound imaging system for detecting a coherent reflector comprises acquiring ultrasound channel data from a volume with a probe including a 2D aperture, calculating a MRT from the ultrasound channel data, identifying a first angle of a projection of the coherent reflector in a plane parallel to the 2D aperture based on the MRT, detecting a line-shaped echo pattern in the ultrasound channel data, determining a second angle of the coherent reflector with respect to the 2D aperture, determining a position and an orientation of the coherent reflector based on the first angle and the second angle, enhancing a representation of the coherent reflector in an image generated based on the ultrasound channel data, and displaying the image on a display device after enhancing the representation of the coherent reflector.

Abstract: A method and ultrasound imaging system for detecting a coherent reflector includes acquiring ultrasound channel data from a volume with a probe, calculating a transform function from the ultrasound channel data, identifying a first angle of a projection of the coherent reflector in a plane parallel to the 2D aperture based on the transform function, detecting a line-shaped echo pattern in the ultrasound channel data, and determining a second angle of the coherent reflector with respect to the 2D aperture based on the position of the line-shaped echo pattern. The method and system includes determining a position and orientation of the coherent reflector based on the first angle and the second angle, enhancing a representation of the coherent reflector in an image generated based on the ultrasound channel data, and displaying the image on a display device after enhancing the representation of the coherent reflector.
