The present invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system () for producing spatially compounded 3D ultrasound image data, comprising: &#x2014;an ultrasound acquisition unit () for acquiring a plurality of 3D ultrasound image data having different but at least partially overlapping field of views, &#x2014;a tracking unit () adapted to determine a relative spatial position of each of the plurality of 3D ultrasound image data with respect to each other, and &#x2014;a stitching unit () adapted to compound the plurality of 3D ultrasound image data by stitching them to each other in order to generate compounded 3D ultrasound image data, wherein the stitching unit () is adapted to calculate a stitching order of the plurality of 3D ultrasound image data based on the determined relative spatial position of the 3D ultrasound image data by minimizing an overlapping area of the different field of views of the plurality of 3D ultrasound image data, and wherein stitching unit () is adapted to stitch the plurality of 3D ultrasound image data according to said stitching order.

The invention relates to a treatment assessment device () for assessing a treatment of a subject, wherein a current treatment is tracked by a tracking unit () and previous conformance values being indicative of previous degrees of conformance of previous treatments with previous treatment plans are provided. A visualization unit () generates a visualization being indicative of a current degree of conformance of the current treatment with the current treatment plan in relation to the previous degrees of conformance based on the tracking of the current treatment, the current treatment plan and the provided previous conformance values. The visualization can be shown on a display such that a physician can see how well the current treatment conforms to the treatment plan in comparison to the degree of conformance achieved in previous treatments, thereby providing an assessment of the quality of the current treatment in relation to previous treatments.
