ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces spatially compounded images by combining component frames acquired from different look directions. In a first embodiment, the oldest component frame used to form a spatially compounded image is subtracted from the spatially compounded image to produce a partially summed image, and a newly acquired frame is added to the partially summed image to form a new spatially compounded image. In a second embodiment, different groups of component frames are concurrently summed to form multiple spatially compounded images simultaneously. The display alternates between the display of the simultaneously produced spatially compounded images.
