ABSTRACT:
A method for producing interpolated ultrasound images by storing at least two sequential ultrasound images and detecting the movement of objects of interest within two sequential images. A movement vector is then determined that describes the movement of each object within an image. One or more interpolated images are then produced by combining data from two sequential ultrasound images and the movement vectors. In addition, three-dimensional ultrasound images can be compensated for movement of a transducer or object of interest. At least two sequential ultrasound images are obtained and movement vectors are calculated for each object of interest. After determining the movement vectors, the images are compensated for the movement to realign the object of interest. The compensated images are then combined to produce three dimensional images.
