ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound imaging method employs an ultrasound transducer which outputs a beam that is scanned along a scan plane. The transducer is controllable to move the scan plane to plural non-coplanar orientations. The imaging method comprises the steps of: operating the ultrasound transducer to acquire and store data indicative of an ultrasound image in each of a plurality of scan planes that are non-coplanar. For each ultrasound image that is acquired in a scan plane that is non-coplanar with a reference scan plane, the ultrasound image is transformed by performing a projection of the non-coplanar scan plane and its image data onto the reference scan plane. The projected non-coplanar ultrasound image is then displayed by employing the projection data indicative of the image.
