  • Method and apparatus for animate visualization of static 3-D data
    Patent number: 9747709
    Abstract: Rendering a time sequence of 2-D images includes obtaining ultrasound image data, applying time variant noise, and raytracing the ultrasound image data to render pixels of a 2-D image for each of a plurality of time steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2017
    Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
    Inventors: Gerald Schroecker, Eduard Gröller, Alexey Karimov, Stefan Bruckner
  • Method and apparatus for rendering an ultrasound image
    Patent number: 9655592
    Abstract: A method for rendering an image from ultrasound image data includes dividing the ultrasound image data into at least a first group of voxels and a second group of voxels, based on comparing voxel echo intensity to a threshold value. The method further includes processing the first group of voxels according to a first protocol and processing the second group of voxels according to a second protocol. The method further includes generating an image that includes both the first group of processed voxels and the second group of processed voxels to enhance realism of the rendered image.
