3D view of 2D ultrasound images

Patent Number: 9386964

Patent Date: 2016-07-12

Patent type: utility

A method includes generating a single three dimensional perspective or axonometric image based on at least two two-dimensional intersecting scanplanes. A rendering engine includes a view processor that generates a single three dimensional perspective image based on at least two two-dimensional intersecting scanplanes. An ultrasound imaging system includes a transducer array, including at least two one dimensional transducer arrays, each receiving echoes corresponding to different intersecting scanplanes, a scan converter that scan converts the echoes into a format for display on a monitor, and a view processor that combines the intersecting scanplanes to form a single three dimensional perspective image.
