Abstract
Disclosed are ultrasonic contrast imaging methods and apparatus. Under a variable frame rate imaging mode, when a contrast agent is injected to a target object, the apparatus obtains ultrasonic data with a first imaging frame rate according to corresponding imaging parameters; when a predefined condition is met after the injection, it obtains ultrasonic data with another imaging frame rate other than the first imaging frame rate according to preconfigured imaging parameters associated with the predefined condition; and generates a contrast image having at least these two imaging frame rates based on the aforementioned two kinds of obtained ultrasonic data. Accordingly, contrast images can be generated by using different imaging frame rates during ultrasonic contrast imaging process, meeting lesion-observation requirements under different contrast phases.
