Abstract
Systems and methods for acquiring by an ultrasound probe of an ultrasound system, ultrasound image data of an anatomical structure, generating, by at least one processor of the ultrasound system, an acquired panoramic ultrasound image of the anatomical structure based on the ultrasound image data, the acquired panoramic ultrasound image including a loss area, processing, by the at least one processor of the ultrasound system, the acquired panoramic ultrasound image based on one or more reference panoramic ultrasound images without the loss area, and outputting, by the at least one processor of the ultrasound system, an enhanced panoramic ultrasound image without the loss area for presentation on a display system.
Claims20
A method for enhancing a panoramic ultrasound image comprising:
- acquiring by an ultrasound probe of an ultrasound system, ultrasound image data of an anatomical structure;
- generating, by at least one processor of the ultrasound system, an acquired panoramic ultrasound image of the anatomical structure based on the ultrasound image data, the acquired panoramic ultrasound image including a loss area;
- processing, by the at least one processor of the ultrasound system, the acquired panoramic ultrasound image using one or more reference panoramic ultrasound images without the loss area;
- and
- outputting, by the at least one processor of the ultrasound system, an enhanced panoramic ultrasound image without the loss area for presentation on a display system.
An ultrasound system comprising:
- an ultrasound probe configured to:
- acquire ultrasound image data of an anatomical structure;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- generate an acquired panoramic ultrasound image of the anatomical structure based on the ultrasound image data, the acquired panoramic ultrasound image including a loss area;
- process the acquired panoramic ultrasound image using one or more reference panoramic ultrasound images without the loss area;
- and
- output an enhanced panoramic ultrasound image without the loss area for presentation on a display system.
An ultrasound system for enhancing panoramic ultrasound images comprising:
- an ultrasound probe configured to:
- acquire ultrasound image data of an anatomical structure;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- generate an acquired panoramic ultrasound image of the anatomical structure based on the ultrasound image data, the acquired panoramic ultrasound image including a loss area;
- learn the loss area of using deep learning by processing one or more reference panoramic ultrasound images without the loss area;
- process the acquired panoramic ultrasound image using the learned loss area;
- and
- output an enhanced panoramic ultrasound image without the loss area for presentation on a display system.
