<p>In one embodiment, an ultrasound system (100) is provided that includes a probe (102) having a 2D array of transducers for acquiring ultrasound information along a plurality of scan lines through an object in real time. The scan lines are arranged to define volumetric data corresponding to a volume of interest (VOI) in a subject or patient. One such VOI may include the human heart or some portion of the human heart. The system includes a beamformer (104) configured with scan parameter values that define the scan lines. An image buffer (108) stores multiple data volumes acquired over time that are successively retrieved and processed by a display processor (110). The display processor (110) accesses the data volumes stored in the image buffer (108) successively to control generation of at least one of 2D and 3D renderings (122) based on display parameters (118), wherein the display processor (110) obtains from the image buffer (108) a first data volume defined based on first scan parameter values, while the probe (102) acquires ultrasound information for a second data volume that is entered into the image buffer (108). The second data volumes defined based on second scan parameter values. A navigation view (124) presents in real time the renderings (122) generated by the display processor (110) with their corresponding 3D orientation. A navigator is provided that controls the display of the navigation view (124) in real time such that, as the user adjusts (210) a display parameter value to change a view plane, images (122) presented in the navigation view (124) are updated to reflect the view plane. A user interface (120) is provided for adjusting the scan and display parameter values. <IMAGE></p> |
