Fetus; - rendering in the medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging

摘要

A fetus skeleton is reproduced (50) with a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound samples of the fetus skeleton, data of detecting (40) at a rate which is sufficient to avoid some of the fetus movement artefacts, compared with a magnetic resonance tomography or computer tomography. In order to better visualize the fetus skeleton, the computed tomography data are used in order to fetus bone tissue to segmenting (42). By extracting of this information is determined in three dimensions, a skeleton. Information, the locations of the bone inner, for the fetus bone image can be used for plugging. Without repeating the segmentation and without adjustments of the volume thickness, the skeleton of other directions are visualized. A volume - or surfaces - rendering is carried out (50), which allows light additionally rows for mip or another projection - rendering (50), which is free of segmentation is not available. The light rows, the actual size and orientation of the bone with respect to one another on the reproduced image display better.
