Embodiment Construction

[0016] figure 1 is a block diagram of an ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system 100 applicable to methods and apparatus in accordance with the principles of the present invention. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to application only to the imaging system, which is implemented here as an example for illustration. In the imaging system 100, the central controller 120 commands the transmission frequency controller 117 to transmit a desired transmission frequency band. The transmission frequency band parameter ftr is coupled to the transmission frequency controller 117, which causes the transducer 112 of the ultrasound probe 110 to transmit ultrasound in the selected frequency band. Of course, it will be appreciated that any ultrasound frequency or frequency group, referred to as a frequency signal, may be used with due regard to the desired penetration depth and sensitivity of the transducer and ultrasound system.

Abstract

An ultrasonic apparatus and method are described in which a volumetric region of the body is imaged by biplane images. One biplane image has a fixed planar orientation to the transducer, and the plane of the other biplane image can be varied in relation to the fixed reference image. In a preferred embodiment one image can be rotated relative to the other, and can be tilted relative to the other. An image orientation icon is shown on the display screen together with the two biplane images depicting the relative orientation of the two planar images.

Description

[0001] biplane ultrasound imaging [0002] related application [0003] This is a divisional application of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10 / 231,704, filed August 29, 2002, which is a divisional application of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09 / 641,306, filed August 17, 2000, now A continuation-in-part of US Patent 6,443,896. technical field [0004] The present invention relates generally to ultrasonic diagnostic imaging, and more particularly to producing multiplanar ultrasonic imaging of volumetric regions of the body in real time. Background technique [0005] A major advantage of three-dimensional ultrasound imaging is the ability to obtain unique image planes through a volumetric object, such as the human body, that cannot be obtained with conventional two-dimensional scanning. For example, three-dimensional imaging technology can be used to view several different sections of a tissue area at the same time, so as to observe facial features from different ang...
