Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001511373
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for recording ultrasound images of a moving object is disclosed. The apparatus includes an ultrasound transmitter, an ultrasound receiver, and an image processor. At least one of the ultrasound transmitter and receiver is moved in relation to an object. Images of the object are acquired, and a movement state of the object is determined and classified into one of two movement states. Based on the movement state of the object, images are either not acquired, or not processed. If the image of the object is not processed, the image processor filters out the images which were acquired during a movement state of the object when the movement is high. The image processor then assembles the images and displays the assembled images.
