First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating an ultrasound image, the method comprising:
- acquiring three dimensional (3D) ultrasound data of a volumetric region of interest (ROI) from an ultrasound probe;
identifying a select set of the 3D ultrasound data that includes a plurality of anatomical markers, the one or more anatomical markers corresponding to an anatomy of interest within the volumetric ROI;
generating a two dimensional (2D) ultrasound image based on the select set of the 3D ultrasound data; and
displaying the 2D ultrasound image on a display.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating an ultrasound image. The systems and methods acquire three dimensional (3D) ultrasound data of a volumetric region of interest (ROI) from an ultrasound probe. The systems and methods further identify a select set of the 3D ultrasound data that includes a plurality of anatomical markers. The one or more anatomical markers may correspond to an anatomy of interest within the volumetric ROI. The systems and methods further generate a two dimensional (2D) ultrasound image based on the select set of the 3D ultrasound data, and display the 2D ultrasound image on a display.

11. An ultrasound imaging system comprising:
-
an ultrasound probe configured to acquire three dimensional (3D) ultrasound data of a volumetric region of interest (ROI); a display; a memory configured to store programmed instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the programmed instructions stored in the memory, wherein the one or more processors when executing the programmed instructions perform the following operations; collect the 3D ultrasound data from the ultrasound probe; identify a select set of the 3D ultrasound data that includes a plurality of anatomical markers, the one or more anatomical markers corresponding to an anatomy of interest within the volumetric ROI; generate a two dimensional (2D) ultrasound image based on the select set of the 3D ultrasound data; and displaying the 2D ultrasound image on the display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
