Method and system for presenting shaded descriptors corresponding with shaded ultrasound images

The invention provides a method and system for applying shading to descriptors that are presented with 2D ultrasound images having corresponding shading. The method may include mapping, by a processor, height values of a synthetic map to pixels of a descriptor; determining, by the processor, a gradient of the height values for each of the pixels of the descriptor; applying, by the processor, shading to the descriptor based on shading parameters and the gradient of the height values for each of the pixels of the descriptor to create a shaded descriptor; and presenting, by the processor, the shaded descriptor at a display system with a 2D ultrasound image having shading corresponding with the shading applied to the shaded descriptor. 本发明提供了一种对呈现为具有相应着色的二维超声图像的描述符应用着色的方法和系统。该方法可以包括：通过处理器，将合成图的高度值映射到描述符的像素；通过该处理器，确定描述符的每个像素的高度值梯度；通过该处理器，基于着色参数和描述符的每个像素的高度值梯度，对描述符应用着色，以创建着色的描述符；以及，通过该处理器，在显示系统中以二维超声图像呈现该着色描述符，其中，二维超声图像具有与应用于着色描述符的着色相对应的着色。
