ABSTRACT:
Ultrasound image data representative of three-dimensional volume segments of an image volume of interest is acquired in synchronism with corresponding cardiac cycles of a patient. The image data representative of the volume segments is combined to provide image data representative of a three-dimensional image of the image volume. The image data acquisition may be synchronized to a selected phase of the patient's cardiac cycle, so that the image represents the image volume at the selected phase. Image data for a three-dimensional volume segment may be acquired during each of the cardiac phases of a cardiac cycle.
