Volume Rendering Quality Adaptations For Ultrasound Imaging
View pageUS Patent:
8636666, Jan 28, 2014
Filed:
Sep 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/211735
Inventors:
Nikolaos Pagoulatos - Athens, GR
Bruce A. McDermott - Bellevue WA, US
Thomas B. Lindh - Woodinville WA, US
Roderick C. Gauss - Bellevue WA, US

Assignee:
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. - Malvern PA
International Classification:
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600443, 345418
Abstract:
Rendering quality parameter values are automatically set or adjusted as a function of acquisition ultrasound parameter values. The rendering quality is automatically selected based on the acquisition quality, such as providing for a higher quality or quality rendering for slower acquisitions. More than two rendering states are provided for a respective, more than two different quality settings.

International Classification:
A61B 8/06
US Classification:
600456000
Abstract:
Rendering quality parameter values are automatically set or adjusted as a function of acquisition ultrasound parameter values. The rendering quality is automatically selected based on the acquisition quality, such as providing for a higher quality or quality rendering for slower acquisitions. More than two rendering states are provided for a respective, more than two different quality settings. For example, different quality settings are provided for streaming (non-repetitive on-going rendering), manipulation (edits of a rendered image), frozen and animation states (repetitive or looped rendering). Since the frozen state is less limited by processing time, the frozen state may be rendered with a highest quality or quality. The rendering is provided with two different sampling density variables, such as an in-plane or XY sampling density and a viewing direction or z sampling density. The separation may allow for a more versatile trade-off between image quality and performance. A Boolean flag indicates whether an adaptive sampling algorithm is to be used, and/or a threshold controls interpolation. Fewer than all the pixels or in-plane spacial locations are used for rendering along the viewing direction. Where little difference is provided between two or more rendered pixels, a pixel or pixels in between may be interpolated rather than rendered. The Boolean flag indicates whether the adaptive interpolation is to be used. The threshold indicates the amount of difference between pixel values that is acceptable to avoid rendering and provide interpolation. An optimal trade-off between rendering image quality and speed can be found by changing two or more rendering quality parameters based on the active display layout or number of images being displayed substantially simultaneously.
