Abstract
A system and method for functional ultrasound imaging are provided. The method includes obtaining ultrasound image data acquired from a multi-plane imaging scan of an imaged object. The ultrasound image data defines a plurality of image planes. The method also includes determining functional image information for the imaged object from two-dimensional tracking information based on the plurality of image planes and generating functional ultrasound image data for the imaged object using the functional image information.
Claims23
A method for functional ultrasound imaging, the method comprising:
- obtaining ultrasound image data acquired from a multi-plane imaging scan of an imaged object, the ultrasound image data defining a plurality of image planes;
- determining functional image information for the imaged object from two-dimensional tracking information based on the plurality of image planes;
- and
- generating functional ultrasound image data for the imaged object using the functional image information.
A computer readable medium having computer readable code readable by a machine and with instructions executable by the machine to perform a method of functional imaging, the method comprising:
- accessing multi-plane ultrasound image data of an imaged object;
- performing two-dimensional tracking using the multi-plane ultrasound image data;
- determining functional image information based on the two-dimensional tracking;
- and
- generating functional ultrasound image data using the functional image information.
An ultrasound imaging system comprising:
- an ultrasound probe configured to perform multi-plane ultrasound imaging to acquire a plurality of image frames;
- and
- a processor having a functional imaging module configured to determine functional image information from two-dimensional tracking information for the acquired plurality of image frames and generate functional ultrasound image data.
