Medical diagnostic ultrasonic imaging method and system for displaying multi-phase, multi-frame images

摘要

A medical diagnostic ultrasonic imaging system acquires image data for at least two frames at each of multiple positions, each frame identified with a respective phase of a physiological cycle. A multiphase 3-D or extended field of view data set is constructed from the image data. Then a plurality of images are generated from the multiphase data set. Each image is associated with a respective phase of the physiological cycle, and these images are displayed in sequence to a user. The acquired sequence of image frames is synchronized by adding frames to the sequence in portions of the sequence characterized by a low number of image frames per period of the physiological cycle, and by removing image frames from portions of the sequence characterized by an excessive number of frames per period of the physiological cycle.
