发明名称 REGION OF INTEREST METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGING
摘要 A region of interest is identified by user selection of a single point. Multiple regions of interest may be identified by selection of multiple points. Region growing is then used to define the boundary of the region of interest. In an alternative or additional embodiment, an image processing region is identified by adding additional spatial locations to a region of interest. The image processing region of interest is then used for image processing. In yet another alternative or additional embodiment, information from a plurality of regions of interest is provided in a same frame of reference. For example, an ordered set of regions of interest along the myocardium is defined. An average intensity for each region of interest as a function of time is displayed within the same frame of reference, such as axes of intensity, region of interest number and time. Alternatively, the frame of reference is region of interest and time where a given portion of the image is modulated as a function of the average intensity for the associated region of interest.
