Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus () comprising a signal processor () for processing measurement signals () from a motion-mode ultrasound measurement and a rendering device () coupled to a processor () for rendering a one-dimensional representation () along a temporal axis () indicative of a property within a tissue. The values () in the one-dimensional representation () are derived on the basis of measured values in an observation window () defined on an M-mode ultrasound image (), a tissue velocity image () or a strain rate image ().
