Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To track movement of an object within an ultrasound volume. SOLUTION: First of all, at least first and second volumes with ultrasound data comprising imaging data representing an anatomical structure within a patient and at least a portion of an object are acquired (221). The second volume is acquired at a time subsequent to the first volume. A first relationship is identified between the object and the anatomical structure on a first image (270) that is based on the first volume. A second relationship is identified between the object and the anatomical structure on a second image (272) that is based on the second volume. Movement of the object is determined based on at least one of the first and second relationships. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
