Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasound imaging system and method includes acquiring first 4D ultrasound data of a first partial volume for a first period of time that is longer than an estimated cardiac period and acquiring second 4D ultrasound data of a second partial volume for a second period of time that is longer than the estimated cardiac period. The system and method includes combining the first 4D ultrasound data with the second 4D ultrasound data to generate 4D ultrasound data of a region-of-interest. The system and method also includes generating and displaying an image based on the 4D ultrasound data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of ultrasound imaging comprising: dividing a region-of-interest into a plurality of partial volumes including a first partial volume and a second partial volume, wherein the first partial volume is different from the second partial volume; acquiring first 4D ultrasound data exclusively from the first partial volume with a probe during a first period of time that is longer than an estimated cardiac period, wherein acquiring the first 4D ultrasound data compr…
