1. A system for medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging, the system comprising:
- an ultrasound imaging system operable to generate data representing a body with an ultrasound transducer, the ultrasound imaging system comprising a three-dimensional image processor operable to render first and second three-dimensional representations as a function of the data, the first and second three-dimensional representations corresponding to first and second different viewing angles, respectively; and
a stereoscopic display operable to display the first and second three-dimensional representations.

Abstract
Medical diagnostic ultrasound stereo imaging is provided. A medical diagnostic ultrasound system operable to scan a body with ultrasound is also operable to generate a three dimensional stereoscopic view of the body. The video processing unit and/or display device create the stereoscopic display.

15. A method for medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging, the method comprising:
-
acquiring ultrasound data representing a region with an ultrasound imaging system;
rendering with the ultrasound imaging system first and second three-dimensional representations of the region from first and second, different viewing directions, respectively;
generating with the ultrasound imaging system a stereoscopic display of the region with the first and second three-dimensional representations. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
