Method and system for generating three dimensional ultrasonic images which can be evaluated for diagnostic purposes has position sensor monitoring ultrasonic sensor position

摘要

The image processing system (1) receives image data from an ultrasonic sensor (7) after its signals have been processed in an ultrasonic unit (6) to produce individual images. An ECG unit (11) and a unit (13) for recording the respiration cycle are included. A sensor (8) monitors the position of the ultrasonic sensor as it scans the area under investigation in at least one axis of movement corresponding to the plane of each individual image produced.
