Abstract
Systems and methods of 3D ultrasound imaging with one or more 'thick-slice' 3D ultrasound imaging zones and one or more 2D ultrasound zones using a multi-zone, multi-frequency image reconstruction scheme with subzone blending. The first zone can be a thick-slice imaging zone and the second and third zones are 2D imaging zones. The first zone and the second zone can be thick-slice imaging zones and the third zone can be a 2D imaging zone. The first zone can be a 2D imaging zone, the second zone can be a thick-slice imaging zone and the third zone can be a 2D imaging zone. A method includes imaging a first zone using plane wave imaging, a second zone using tissue harmonic imaging, and a third zone using fundamental and subharmonic deep imaging. The depth of each zone can vary based on the ultrasonic array and the F# used for imaging the zone.
