Method and system for enhanced visualization of individual images in a real-time scan

A system, comprising:

• an ultrasound device operable to acquire ultrasound image data;
• a memory configured to store the acquired ultrasound image data;
• a processor operable to:
• process the acquired ultrasound image data according to cine sequence processing parameters to generate a cine sequence comprising a plurality of frames, wherein each of the frames has a first spatial resolution, and
• receive a trigger;
• and
• a user input module configured to receive instructions for navigating the cine sequence to one of the plurality of frames, wherein the received trigger selects the one of the plurality of frames,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• retrieve a portion of the acquired ultrasound image data from the memory that corresponds with the one of the plurality of frames selected by the trigger, and
• process the portion of the acquired ultrasound image data according to still image processing parameters in response to the received trigger to generate a still image having a second spatial resolution that is higher than the first spatial resolution.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:

• acquiring ultrasound image data;
• storing the acquired ultrasound image data in memory;
• processing the acquired ultrasound image data according to cine sequence processing parameters to generate a cine sequence comprising a plurality of frames, each of the frames having a first spatial resolution;
• navigating the cine sequence to one of the plurality of frames;
• receiving a trigger, wherein the received trigger selects the one of the plurality of frames;
• retrieving a portion of the acquired ultrasound image data from the memory that corresponds with the one of the plurality of frames selected by the trigger;
• and
• processing the portion of the acquired ultrasound image data according to still image processing parameters in response to the trigger to generate a still image having a second spatial resolution that is higher than the first spatial resolution.
