Rendering a time sequence of 2-D images includes obtaining ultrasound image data, applying time variant noise, and raytracing the ultrasound image data to render pixels of a 2-D image for each of a plurality of time steps.

Method and apparatus for animate visualization of static 3-D data

A method for rendering an image from ultrasound image data includes dividing the ultrasound image data into at least a first group of voxels and a second group of voxels, based on comparing voxel echo intensity to a threshold value. The method further includes processing the first group of voxels according to a first protocol and processing the second group of voxels according to a second protocol. The method further includes generating an image that includes both the first group of processed voxels and the second group of processed voxels to enhance realism of the rendered image.

Method and apparatus for rendering an ultrasound image

A method () of and a system () for probing a data of interest on the basis of an object comprised in a related image data, includes an instantiating step () for instantiating a probe, an applying step () for applying the probe to a location on a surface of the object, and a determining step () for determining a profile from the data of interest on the basis of the location of the probe. The probe is a virtual tool for extracting information from the data of interest. This tool is navigated on the basis of a view rendered from the related image data. The probe further determines the scope of probing. Thus, the method () and the system () enable the user to extract the desired information from the data of interest.
