MAKING MEASUREMENTS OF THE HIP

In a method for making a measurement of the hip in an ultrasound image, an ultrasound image of the hip is obtained. A spatial coherence map associated with one or more lags of the ultrasound waves associated with the ultrasound image is also obtained. Then a quality metric is determined based on the...

Zusammenfassung:	In a method for making a measurement of the hip in an ultrasound image, an ultrasound image of the hip is obtained. A spatial coherence map associated with one or more lags of the ultrasound waves associated with the ultrasound image is also obtained. Then a quality metric is determined based on the ultrasound image of the hip and the spatial coherence map. The quality metric indicates the suitability of the ultrasound image for making the measurement of the hip. If the quality metric indicates that the ultrasound image is above a threshold quality, then the method then comprises indicating that the ultrasound image is suitable for making the measurement of the hip.
