ULTRASOUND IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING A VOLUME FLOW RATE

Ultrasound imaging system and method for measuring a volume flow rate. An ultrasound imaging system and method includes acquiring and displaying a first image of a first plane including a longitudinalaxis of a vessel and identifying first position information of the longitudinal axis. The system and method includes acquiring and displaying a second image of a second plane that intersects the longitudinal axis of the vessel at an oblique angle, where the second plane is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the ultrasound probe, where the ultrasound probe is in the same position with respectto the vessel when acquiring both the first image of the first plane and the second image of the second plane, and identifying second position information defining the second plane with respect to theultrasound probe. The system and method include calculating a volume flow rate based on the first image, the second image, the first position information and the second position information. 本发明题为"用于测量体积流率的超声成像系统和方法"。本发明公开了一种超
