Unit for 3D image prodn. in medium scattered by ultrasound in object vol.

摘要

The three dimensional ultrasonic imaging unit includes an US converter array for transmitting US beams and for detecting US echos, reflected by a multiple of sample to test vols. in the object vols. A unit for obtaining pixel intensity data, which are derived from US echos, which are reflected by the scattering medium. Each pixel intensity date corresponds to one of a corresp. multiple of sample or test vols. A storage unit stores the pixel intensity data for each of the many sample or test vols. A unit reproduces a set of pixel intensity data from the storage unit, which corresponds to vol. of interest in the object vol. A unit projects the pixel intensity data set, corresp. to the vol. of interest on an image plane. So that a projected pixel intensity data set is formed, which represents a projected image. A unit transmits or transforms the projected set of data, in order to represent a contrast adjusted projected image. A display monitor and a unit a unit are provided, for indicating the contrast adjusted projected image on the display monitor.
