Abstract
Clinical markers are adaptively identified in steered spatial compounding ultrasound imaging. Motion is detected. The use or determination of the clinical marker information adapts to the amount of motion. If sufficient motion is detected, the contribution of clinical marker information may be reduced, the weighting of the clinical marker information relative to the steered compound information is reduced, the acquisition sequence is adjusted for component frames of data, or combinations thereof.
