ULTRASOUND IMAGING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING ULTRASOUND IMAGES

An ultrasound imaging assembly is disclosed, comprising an image processing unit (26) for receiving and for evaluating at least one set of ultrasound data resulting from an ultrasound scan of a volume of interest (31) and for providing corresponding image data on the basis of the ultrasound data. The assembly comprises a display unit (18) for displaying an ultrasound image (30) on the basis of the image data, and an evaluation unit (28) adapted to detect whether a shadowed area (32) is present within the volume of interest (31) on the basis of the ultrasound data, wherein the image processing unit is adapted to determine ultrasound image data of a two-dimensional slice of the shadowed area and wherein the display unit is adapted to display a graphical representation of a corresponding sectional view of the shadowed area within the ultrasound image.
