摘要:
The present invention provides a validated method for motion correction with great potential for mitigating motion artifacts in 3D DCE-US. The method is described as a method for motion correction of three-dimensional contrast enhanced ultrasound without the availability of Bmode data. Four-dimensional cine data including three-dimensional contrast enhanced ultrasound image frames are acquired. The acquired three-dimensional contrast enhanced ultrasound image frames are subdivided into groups of similar images referred to as windows. A first pass registration is performed for each of the images in the window to a window representative image. A second pass is performed for each of the registered images from the first pass to a master reference image.
