Abstract:
There are provided embodiments for providing a color Doppler image based on qualification curve information. In one embodiment, an ultrasound system comprises: an ultrasound data acquisition unit configured to acquire ultrasound data corresponding to a living body including a moving target object; a storage unit for storing qualification curve information for determining blood flow signals of the target object, clutter signals and noise based on velocity and power components of Doppler signals; and a processing unit configured to form first Doppler signals based on the ultrasound data, perform a clutter filtering process upon the first Doppler signals to form second Doppler signals, calculate velocity and power components of the second Doppler signals, form a color Doppler image based on the calculated velocity and power components, and perform a blending process upon the color Doppler image based on the calculated velocity and power components and the qualification curve information.
Abstract:
A method of providing a motion vector is disclosed. The method according to embodiments of the present disclosure comprises: acquiring ultrasound data corresponding to a region of interest within a brightness mode (B-mode) image of a target object; forming a color Doppler mode image of the target object based on the ultrasound data; forming a motion vector of the target object based on the ultrasound data and the color Doppler mode image; and setting the motion vector on the color Doppler mode image.
