| Abstract | Ultrasound images are rendered reproducible over long time periods by
determining contours of a first image and superimposing them on a real
time display screen during acquisition of a second image. The operator
manipulates the probe so that the new image fits within the contours
obtained from the first image. This avoids the need for signal processing
requiring powerful computer resources. It also avoids the use of
complicated ultrasound images. The method may be implemented in any
ultrasound equipment currently available on the market. |
