Abstract
A method for generating F-mode display of an ultrasound image includes: collecting ultrasound image data that include a plurality of physical properties; mapping the physical properties to a plurality of color components of a color space; and combining the color components to generate an F-mode display of the ultrasound image. Each of the physical properties corresponds a corresponding color component.
