    摘要: An ultrasonic probe is moved to scan a volumetric region of the body. As it is moved, targets within the region are interrogated from multiple look directions. The echo data from the multiple look directions are compounded to form spatially compounded image data, which is processed for display in a three dimensional display format.

    摘要: Ultrasonic imaging apparatus and method are described for reducing the flash artifact in ultrasonic harmonic images. Harmonic signals are separated by pulse inversion separation which uses multiple transmit pulses which may be subject to motion artifacts. The motion artifacts are detected and subtracted from the harmonic signals to produce harmonic images with reduced flash artifacts. The motion artifacts may also be reduced by notch filtering. In another embodiment the amount of motion in the image is detected and the flash artifact is reduced in accordance with the detected motion. The amount of artifact signal which is removed is variable in accordance with anticipated image motion or clinical application.

    摘要: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is are described in which the component ultrasonic images which are to be spatially compounded are corrected for misregistration prior to compounding. The component images may be registered to a reference image or registered to form intermediate compound images which are then registered and compounded. The misregistration may be sensed by calculating a similarity or difference metric for a region of interest of the image frames being registered, or on the basis of reference lines acquired for the purpose of registering images.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described which produce spatially compounded panoramic ultrasonic images by electronically steering beams in a plurality of different look directions as a transducer is moved in relation to a panoramic image field. The received echo information is compounded, then aligned and combined with previously acquired echo information to form a spatially compounded panoramic image. Alternatively, the received echo information may be aligned with previously acquired echo information, then combined to produce spatial compounding and a panoramic image in one process.
