Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system and method include displaying a first sequence of images generated from first ultrasound data, where the first ultrasound data includes volumetric ultrasound data. The system and method include selecting an acquisition target from the first sequence of images and automatically configuring an acquisition parameter based on the selected acquisition target. The system and method include implementing the acquisition parameter to acquire second ultrasound data of the acquisition target. The system and method include displaying a second sequence of images generated from the second ultrasound data, wherein the second sequence of images is of a higher frame rate than the first sequence of images.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying intersection information on a volumetric ultrasound image are provided. One method includes accessing ultrasound information corresponding to a volume dataset and identifying a location of one or more surfaces intersecting the volume dataset. The method further includes colorizing a rendered image of the volume dataset based on the identified locations of the intersection of the one or more surfaces and displaying a rendered volume dataset with one or more colorized intersections.
