Flow spectrograms synthesized from ultrasonic flow color doppler information

摘要

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and method are described by which a user can delineate a region of interest (122, 128) in a colorflow Doppler image. The ultrasound system processes the Doppler pixel information of the region of interest (122, 128) to produce a spectrogram illustrating motion at the region of interest (122, 128) as a function of time. In a preferred embodiment the Doppler pixel information is processed by histograms to produce the spectrogram data.
