ULTRASONIC IMAGE STABILIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided in which anatomical images are stabilized in the presence of probe motion, anatomical motion, or both. A decision processor analyzes motional effects and determines whether to inhibit or allow image stabilization. Images are anatomically aligned on the basis of probe motion sensing, image analysis, or both. The stabilization system can be activated either manually or automatically and adaptively.
