METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING INORGANIC STRUCTURE IN ULTRASOUND NON MOTION IMAGING

摘要

The present invention provides a method and a system for identifying and coloring inorganic matter during an ultrasound scan. The identified inorganic matter is colored in a manner which enables a medical practitioner to differentiate it from the color of organic matter. The method and system include determining a tissue density threshold, obtaining an ultrasound image of the region of the body of the organism and identifying a first set of sub regions of the ultrasound image and a second set of sub regions of the ultrasound image based on the tissue density threshold. Furthermore, the method and system include coloring the second set of sub regions in the ultrasound image of the ultrasound scan. The tissue density threshold is a tissue density of a region of a body. The first set of regions pertains to organic matter and the second set of regions pertains to the inorganic matter.

主权项

1. A method for identifying inorganic matter during an ultrasound scan, the method comprising:
a) determining a tissue density threshold, wherein said tissue density threshold is a tissue density of a region of a body of said organism; b) obtaining an ultrasound image of said region of said body of said organism; c) identifying a first set of sub regions of said ultrasound image and a second set of sub regions of said ultrasound image based on said tissue density threshold, wherein said first set of sub regions pertains to organic matter and said second set of sub regions pertains to said inorganic matter; and d) highlighting said second set of sub regions in said ultrasound image of said ultrasound scan.
