Abstract
A method of quantifying a 3D fractional moving blood volume (3D-FMBV) in a tissue volume of a subject using an ultrasound system, including acquiring images of the tissue volume from a power doppler scan of the tissue volume; applying image enhancement settings to the images; segmenting an organ, tissue or region thereof from the image data; determining geometric partitions of the segments based on distance from the transducer head of the ultrasound system; and computing a 3D-FMBV using a 3D-FMBV analysis algorithm from the partitions.
