摘要

apparatus configured for guidance in capturing an individual's ultrasound imaging to obtain a target view, and computer readable media incorporating a program for guidance in capturing ultrasound images of an object to obtain a target view. of an individual's ultrasound imaging to obtain a target view, as a standard view, involves applying the ultrasound to the individual and receiving, in response, a current ultrasound view (502), correlating the received image with an image as a three-dimensional reference image (503) and, for user assistance, the generation (based on correlation) of a feedback (514-528) for guidance. the reference image may be a statistical atlas or may be derived from patient-specific tc or rm images. The pre-existing image may also be a database corresponding to a state of a state space. the feedback may be an image derived from the reference image, a graphical indication (508) of a target view plane, the received view merged (512) with an image derived from the reference image, or the derived image appearing simultaneously and enhanced to indicate spatially at which points the received view registers with the reference image. target view 510 may be a view of an organ or a vessel of the body and surrounding tissue. Both the atlas and the database may be specialized in imaging or in an organ or vessel and surrounding tissue. 1/1
