Ultrasound imaging apparatus

An ultrasound imaging apparatus (20) is disclosed, comprising a data interface (30) configured to receive a plurality of different ultrasound data sets (26, 28) resulting from an ultrasound scan of an object (18) in different viewing directions. The ultrasound imaging apparatus further comprises a segmentation unit (32) for segmenting anatomical structures of the object in the different ultrasound data sets and for providing segmentation data of the anatomical structures, and a reference determining unit (34) for determining a spatial reference (48, 50, 52, 54) for the different ultrasound data sets on the basis of the segmentation data. A confidence determining unit (40) is included for determining confidence values (56) for different regions of the received ultrasound data on the basis of the spatial reference. 公开了种超声成像装置(20)，其包括数据接口(30)，所述数据接口被配置为接收产生于在不同查看方向上的对象(18)的超声扫描的多个不同超声数据集(26、28)。所述超声成像装置还包括：分割单元(32)，其用于分割不同超声数据集中的对象的解剖结构并且用于提供解剖结构的分割数据；以及参考确定单元(34)，其用于基于所述分割数据来确定针对不同超声数据集的空间参考(48、50、52、54)。置信度确定单
