Ultrasonic diagnostic scanning for three dimensional display

摘要

The method for producing three dimensional ultrasonic images of the interior of a body involves transmitting ultrasonic waves over a volumetric region of the interior of the body, receiving ultrasonic Doppler information signals from spatial locations within the region and processing the ultrasonic Doppler information signals to determine the Doppler power intensity received from the locations within the region. The Doppler power intensity is displayed on a spatial basis in a three dimensional presentation. The processing involves processing the ultrasonic Doppler information signals to determine the maximum Doppler power intensity received from the locations within the region. The displaying involves displaying the maximum Doppler power intensity of the locations on a spatial basis in a three dimensional presentation.
