Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording medical images, in particular ultrasound images, of a moving object, in particular of a heart, said method comprising the following steps: generating a movement signal that dynamically represents the state of movement of the moving object, identifying the phase position and the frequency of the moving object on the basis of the movement signal, reconstructing the images on the basis of the phase position and of the frequency and/or carrying out at least one scan of the moving object, with the recording times being adjusted according to the phase position and the frequency of the moving object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for navigating on a vision plane (1) in a multidimensional image data set (8), wherein the intersection angle and degree of freedom (3, 6, 7) of the vision plane (1) displacement correspond to the degree of freedom of a sample (2) displacement, in particular an ultrasound transducer (2) during an interactive image producing examination. Said invention also relates to a method and device for carrying out measurements in dynamic image data, wherein said method consists in stopping, for a predefined time interval, a sequence reproduction when a frame (Fp) is interesting, thereby enabling a user to carry out measurements.

Abstract: Rotations at multiple longitudinal levels (e.g., rotations from different short axis views) are determined. Three-dimensional representations are generated as a function of the rotations, such as distorting the representation to show rotation and/or modulating the display values as a function of the rotations. Twist and/or torsion of the heart may be calculated from the rotations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for breast cancer screening and a corresponding method carried out with the system, the method comprising the following steps: a) providing an image of a predetermined region of a breast of a woman, b) determining the glandular volume in the scanning image, and c) calculating the absolute glandular tissue amount of the breast from the glandular volume, wherein the absolute glandular tissue amount can be used as a risk index which provides an indication about the risk of the woman of having breast cancer.

Abstract: Parametric imaging of a surface is provided on a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system. A bull's eye or Beutel surface representing the scanned tissue, such as a portion of the heart, is formed from planar views, such as apical 4 chamber, apical 2 chamber and long axis views of the heart. Dynamic clips or videos of the parametric imaging provide temporally useful information to a user. The parametric imaging may include information determined from data at different locations or different times, such as strain, velocity, tissue displacement, velocity, or wall thickness. The ultrasound data may be responsive to contrast agents. The ultrasound data may be acquired with a three-dimensional scan.
