ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an ultrasound diagnostic imaging system and method, wherein volumentric data in respect of an anatomical region of interest is acquired throughout a physiological cycle in relation thereto, a 3D view of the volumetric data is built, the motion of a structure of interest (in space and/or time) is analysed within the volume throughout the above-mentioned physiological cycle, and this motion is used to move a 3D view of the structure of interest, as presented to a user, so that it tracks the structure of interest and retains it centred in the 3D view.
