A method for combined 4D presentation of quantitative measurements and morphology of an object uses an apparatus that includes a computer or processor, memory, and a display. The method includes identifying a region of interest in volumetric image data. Then, the following steps are iterated to produce a 4D volume rendering. The iterated steps include tracking a wall of the object in the region of interest of the image data to produce a displacement field, applying the displacement field to display data to create enhanced rendering data, volume rendering the enhanced rendering data to produce an enhanced volume rendering, and displaying the enhanced volume rendering.

Methods and apparatus for combined 4D presentation of quantitative regional measurements and morphology

A trigger extraction system for obtaining an event trigger for an event occurring in a region of interest includes a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a trigger extraction program stored in the memory for execution by the processor. The trigger extraction program includes instructions for accessing ultrasound trigger data from a trigger region intersecting a region of interest, analyzing the trigger data for a trigger characteristic, and storing an event trigger based on the trigger characteristic.
