1. A method of segmenting an image, the method comprising the steps of:

  • generating a first frame of image data representing a plurality of items in an imaging view at a first time;

    generating a second frame of image data representing a plurality of items in an imaging view at a second time, the second time differing from the first time;

    selecting a first portion of the first frame, the first portion having a first subset of the image data of the first frame;

    comparing the selected first portion to image data of the second frame;

    selecting a second portion of the second frame based on the comparison, the second portion having a second subset of the image data of the second frame;

    calculating a first displacement vector representing relative movement between the first portion at the first time and the second portion at the second time; and

    outputting on a display an image having an indicator, wherein the indicator is at a location on the image that is determined by using the calculated first displacement vector.
