3D/4D CONTRAST-ENHANCED ULTRASOUND IMAGING APPARATUS, METHODS AND MEDIA

Disclosed are 3D/4D contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging (CEUS) apparatus, 3D/4D CEUS imaging methods and media. The method comprises: receiving an input for selecting a 3D/4D contrast-enhanced imaging mode; receiving an input for setting an imaging velocity including a first imaging velocity and a higher second imaging velocity; controlling the apparatus with an imaging parameter associated with the selected imaging mode and the set imaging velocity to achieve imaging with the selected imaging mode in the set imaging velocity, wherein an association between the imaging parameter and the imaging velocity allows that an amount of data required to generate images per volume using the first imaging velocity is greater than that using the second imaging velocity. In this way, a desired imaging mode and imaging velocity can be chosen freely and an imaging parameter can be selected pointedly, meeting real-time observation needed by doctors with limited data processing capability and various probes.
