    摘要: A system includes a processor and a display. The processor is configured to: receive a first plurality of ultrasound (US) images acquired at a site of an organ from a first plurality of positions and orientations, before performing a medical procedure at the site; receive a second plurality of US images acquired at the site, from a second plurality of positions and orientations, after performing the medical procedure at the site; and identify among the first and second plurality of US images, one or more pairs of first and second US images, respectively, which are acquired from matched orientations, and select a given pair among the pairs, in which a difference between the first and second US images is largest among the identified pairs. The display is configured to display the given pair of the first and second US images to a user.
