Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for enhancing local features in ultrasound images are disclosed. In some embodiments, an ultrasound system includes an ultrasound scanner configured to transmit ultrasound at a patient anatomy and receive reflections of the ultrasound from the patient anatomy and a processor. The processor is configured to: generate an ultrasound image based on the reflections and system parameters of the ultrasound system; determine a region of interest (ROI) in the ultrasound image; determine an enhancement property for the ROI; adjust at least one of the system parameters; and generate, based on the at least one of the system parameters being adjusted, a ROI image having the enhancement property enhanced compared to the ROI in the ultrasound image. The ultrasound system also includes a display device configured to simultaneously display the ultrasound image and the ROI image.
