According to the invention, an object in an ultrasound image is characterised by considering various in-vivo object parameters and their variability within the ultrasonic imaging data. Specifically, it is assumed that the object may be defined in terms of statistical properties (or object identifying parameters), which are consistently different from properties of the environment. Such properties are referred to as the object's signature. The statistical properties are calculated (E) at selected locations within the image to determine (G) if they fall within a predetermined range of values which represents the object. If within this range, the locations are marked to indicate they are positioned within the object. A border may then be drawn around the object and the area calculated (H).
