Embodiment Construction

[0055] figure 1 A device 10 is shown for carrying out the method of the invention, eg for generating a visualization image corresponding to a region R within a medium 11 and / or a subregion SR contained within a region R.

[0056] The medium 11 is, for example, a living body, especially a human or animal body, or can be any other biological or physicochemical medium (eg: an in vitro medium). The volume of a medium includes changes in its physical properties. For example, media may include tissue and blood vessels, each having a variety of different physical properties. For example, a tissue may include a diseased region (eg, a cancer cell) or any other single region that has various different physical properties compared to other regions of the medium. Portions of the medium 11 may include some added contrast agents (eg, microbubbles) to improve the contrast of the physical properties of these portions.

[0057] Device 10 may include:

[0058] - a probe 12 comprising an ult...

Abstract

An ultrasound imaging method is disclosed for generating a visualization image, the method comprising an emission and reception step of interleaved ultrasound waves, a processing step during which thereceived sequences are processed for generating three images via three different process, an image combining step during which the visualization image is determined by combining the three images forsimultaneously visualizing the results of all images process. The second and third images may be superposed over the first image. According to an aspect, the first process is B-mode ultrasound imaging, the second process is an elastography ultrasound imaging, and the third process is flow process imaging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultrasound imaging method for generating a visualized image of a region within a medium, and an ultrasound imaging device implementing said method. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound methods / apparatus are known to generate visualization images that combine two images: a first b-mode image revealing the morphological structure of the medium, and a second blood flow image revealing vascularization in the medium. Depending on the method used, there are also two blood flow images, called: "color flow" and "PW mode". [0003] Elastography now provides images of media elasticity, and such color images provide quantitative information on media stiffness relevant for cancer diagnosis. [0004] However, color flow images and color elastography images were provided separately in two different ultrasound imaging studies, and the relationship between tissue vascularization and tissue elasticity could not be confirmed.
