Abstract
A method of providing a motion vector is disclosed. The method according to embodiments of the present disclosure comprises: acquiring ultrasound data corresponding to a region of interest within a brightness mode (B-mode) image of a target object; forming a color Doppler mode image of the target object based on the ultrasound data; forming a motion vector of the target object based on the ultrasound data and the color Doppler mode image; and setting the motion vector on the color Doppler mode image.
Claims12
A method of providing a motion vector on an ultrasound image, comprising:
- acquiring a brightness mode (B-mode) image of a target object;
- enabling a region of interest (ROI) to be set in the B-mode image, the ROI covering a moving object in the target object;
- acquiring ultrasound data for a portion of the target object corresponding to the ROI, the ultrasound data including speed information of the moving object;
- forming a color Doppler mode image of the portion based on the ultrasound data;
- forming a motion vector of the moving object based on the ultrasound data and the color Doppler mode image;
- and
- setting the motion vector on the color Doppler mode image.
A system of providing a motion vector on an ultrasound image, comprising:
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a brightness mode (B-mode) image of a target object;
- a region setting unit configured to enable a region of interest (ROI) to be set in the B-mode image, the ROI covering a moving object in the target object;
- an ultrasound data acquisition unit configured to acquire ultrasound data for a portion of the target object corresponding to the ROI, the ultrasound data including speed information of the moving object;
- an image forming unit configured to form a color Doppler mode image of the portion based on the ultrasound data;
- a processor configured to form a motion vector of the moving object based on the ultrasound data and the color Doppler mode image and to set the motion vector on the color Doppler mode image.
