Abstract
An ultrasonic method and system for boundary detection of an object of interest in an ultrasound image is provided. One ultrasound imaging system that is provided acquires an ultrasound image from a subject using harmonic information and automatically generates a boundary oriented with respect to an object of interest in the ultrasound image. Another ultrasound imaging system that is provided receives a plurality of user-proposed transition positions oriented with respect to an object of interest in an ultrasound image and automatically generates a computed boundary oriented with respect to the object of interest at least partially as a function of the plurality of user-proposed transition positions. The ultrasound image used in this system can be generated with received ultrasonic energy at a fundamental frequency or at a harmonic of the fundamental frequency.
