超声检查可以对患者进行信息丰富且富有表现力的实时检查。研究结果通常以打印输出、屏幕截图和视频序列的形式报告。然而，在某些情况下，成像超声数据量相当大，或者检测感兴趣的解剖特征具有挑战性。因此，检查后访问数据中存在的信息是很麻烦的。事实上，检查员必须检查整个视频序列，否则可能会因将检查减少到单个屏幕截图和打印输出而丢失相关信息。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的后处理流程，用于超声视频序列的引导视觉探索，以便更轻松、更丰富地探索和分析数据。我们通过将其应用于肝脏检查案例来证明这种方法的有用性，显示出更容易、更快速的超声图像选择和数据探索。
Ultrasonography allows informative and expressive real time examinations of patients. Findings are usually reported as printouts, screen shots and video sequences. However, in certain scenarios, the amount of imaged ultrasound data is considerable or it is challenging to detect the anatomical features of interest. Post-examination access to the information present in the data is, therefore, cumbersome. The examiner must, in fact, review entire video sequences or risk to lose relevant information by reducing the examination to single screen shot and printouts. In this paper we propose a novel post-processing pipeline for guided visual exploration of ultrasound video sequences, to allow easier and richer exploration and analysis of the data. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach by applying it to a liver examination case, showing easier and quicker ultrasound image selection and data exploration.
