<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for forming ultrasonic images of a subject working by use of a deformable model. <P>SOLUTION: The method for forming a three-dimensional image (70) of a subject involves a process (200) of providing a model (8) of the subject (62), a process (202) of ultrasonic irradiation of the subject area from a source transducer (58) outside of the subject (62), a process of receiving a feedback echo from the subject (62) located in the receiving transducer (58) outside of the subject (62), a process (204) of treating the feedback echo, and a process (208/212) of forming a mixed image (70) of the subject (62) including the subject area responding to the model (8) of the subject (62) and the subject area responding to the feedback echo. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
