<p>A three-dimensional image data set representing a volume of material such as human tissue is created using speckle decorrelation techniques to process successive two-dimensional data slices (301, 302, 303, 304) from a moving, standard 1D or 1.5D ultrasound transducer. This permits the use of standard ultrasound machinery, without the use of additional slice-position hardware, to create 3D images without having to modify the machinery or its operation. Similar techniques can be used for special data processing with the imaging system as well as to expedite the image acquisition process. Optionally, the image quality of 2D images can be enhanced through the use of multiple 3D data sets derived using the method.</p> |
