Abstract
A method of generating an elasticity image and an elasticity image generating apparatus are provided. The method includes detecting corresponding partial areas from examined areas of a first elasticity image and a second elasticity image from among a plurality of elasticity images indicating elasticity of examined areas in a subject, and generating data of a third elasticity image, comprising combining data of the first elasticity image with data of the second elasticity image based on the corresponding partial areas of the first elasticity image and the second elasticity image.
Claims22
A method of generating an elasticity image, the method comprising:
- detecting corresponding partial areas from examined areas of a first elasticity image and a second elasticity image from among a plurality of elasticity images indicating elasticity of examined areas in a subject;
- and
- generating data of a third elasticity image, comprising combining data of the first elasticity image with data of the second elasticity image based on the corresponding partial areas of the first elasticity image and the second elasticity image.
An elasticity image generating apparatus, comprising:
- an image processor configured to detect corresponding partial areas from examined areas of a first elasticity image and a second elasticity image from among a plurality of elasticity images indicating elasticity of examined areas in a subject, and generate data of a third elasticity image by combining data of the first elasticity image with data of the second elasticity image based on the corresponding partial areas of the first elasticity image and the second elasticity image.
A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program configured to execute a method of generating an elasticity image, the method comprising:
- detecting corresponding partial areas from examined areas of a first elasticity image and a second elasticity image from among a plurality of elasticity images indicating elasticity of examined areas in a subject;
- and
- generating data of a third elasticity image, comprising combining data of the first elasticity image with data of the second elasticity image based on the corresponding partial areas of the first elasticity image and the second elasticity image.
A method of generating an elasticity image, comprising:
- detecting corresponding first and second partial areas based on data of a first elasticity image indicating elasticity of a first examined area in a subject and data of a second elasticity image indicating elasticity of a second examined area in the subject, the first partial area being a portion of an examined area of the first elasticity image, the second partial area being a portion of an examined area of the second elasticity image;
- and
- generating data of a third elasticity image, comprising combining the data of the second elasticity image with data of a corrected image obtained from the data of the first elasticity image.
