Method and system for enhanced structural visualization by temporal compounding of speckle tracked 3D ultrasound data
Abstract:
An ultrasound device acquires ultrasound image data corresponding to a plurality of volume frames of an object and applies morphing or motion compensation to the acquired ultrasound image data to track a particular region of the object. The ultrasound device compounds the motion compensated ultrasound image data that corresponds to the tracked particular region of the object within the plurality of volume frames of the object. The ultrasound device generates a stationary single three dimensional (3D) volume of the tracked particular region of the object. The ultrasound device acquires the ultrasound image data over at least a portion of a movement cycle. The ultrasound device generates motion tracking information and speckle tracking information from the acquired ultrasound image data for the tracked particular region of the object and group pixels corresponding to the tracked particular region of the object based on the generated motion tracking and speckle tracking information.
