Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is described which produces ultrasonic breast images by acquiring ultrasonic data from a volumetric region of the breast, then volume rendering the data to produce a projection image from the data set. The diagnostic image reveals diagnostic information of the complete volume of breast tissue in a single ultrasonic image.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic system and scanning technique are described for producing three dimensional ultrasonic image displays utilizing power Doppler signal information. In a preferred embodiment the power Doppler signal information is displayed in the absence of structural (B mode) information to reduce image clutter and provide three dimensional image segmentation. An ultrasonic scanning technique is presented for acquiring diagnostic three dimensional ultrasonic images of power Doppler intensity through manual hand scanning of a patient, without the need for specially fabricated scanning mechanisms or devices.
