Abstract

See full text

A method for motion encoding of tissue structures in ultrasonic imaging for investigation of living bodies, comprising the steps of obtaining 2D or volumetric data sets (4) by ultrasonic measurements covering a selected region within a living body, localizing at least one tissue structure within said selected region, measuring the movement of said at least one tissue structure within said selected region by correlating said selected region between at least two instants of time, computing from said data sets with respect to said at least one tissue structure a local motion characteristic estimate, and visualizing said at least one structure as well as said motion characteristic estimate.
