METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND IMAGE OF A TISSUE VOLUME
A method includes generating a series of two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images of a tissue volume associated with a plurality of positions, respectively, along a scanning direction of the tissue volume. The method includes, for a pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images, using a deep neural network...

Zusammenfassung: | A method includes generating a series of two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images of a tissue volume associated with a plurality of positions, respectively, along a scanning direction of the tissue volume. The method includes, for a pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images, using a deep neural network to classify a difference between the pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images of the series of 2D ultrasound images. The deep neural network is trained to classify differences between images based on one of a plurality of predefined classes. The method includes modifying a number of 2D ultrasound images in the series of 2D ultrasound images based on the classification of the difference between the pair of consecutive 2D ultrasound images of the series of 2D ultrasound images, thereby producing a modified series of 2D ultrasound images. The method includes performing a measurement of tissue using the modified series of 2D ultrasound images. |
