  • Patent number: 8636666
    Abstract: Rendering quality parameter values are automatically set or adjusted as a function of acquisition ultrasound parameter values. The rendering quality is automatically selected based on the acquisition quality, such as providing for a higher quality or quality rendering for slower acquisitions. More than two rendering states are provided for a respective, more than two different quality settings.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6542153
    Abstract: A system and a method for three dimensional (3D) volume editing for medical imaging applications is disclosed. The method and system comprise the steps of projecting vertices of the at least one ROI in one plane and transforming the data within the at least one ROI to allow all of a plurality of slices on the inside of the at least one ROI to be along one axis of a three axis coordinate system. The method and system also includes representing the inside of the at least one ROI as a plurality of line segments, wherein only two coordinates and the length of a line segment are stored. The system and method is particularly useful for removing unwanted structure by defining one or more regions of interest (ROI) in freehand from an arbitrary slice of a 3D data volume. In a preferred embodiment, the system and method comprises a fast algorithm to process a set of compact ROI volumes to remove either the inside or the outside ROI volumes.
