<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, apparatus and system for enhancing needle visualization in ultrasound imaging. <P>SOLUTION: The method comprises: a setting step 102 of setting a scanning depth corresponding to a depth of a part or tissue target in a patient's body; and a determining step 104 of automatically determining a needle frame steering angle and an ultrasound working frequency for needle frame collection based on the scanning depth. The needle frame steering angle and ultrasound working frequency for needle frame collection and a filter kernel for performing edge enhancement filtering of the collected needle frame are both dependent upon the scanning depth, and thus enhanced needle visualization is achieved in ultrasound imaging for scanning at different depths without participation of a user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
