摘要: We present novel methodologies for compounding large numbers of 3D echocardiography volumes. Our aim is to investigate the effect using an increased number images, and compare performance different methods on image quality. Three sets images were acquired from three volunteers. Each set data (containing 10+ images) registered external tracking followed by state-of-the-art registration. Four investigated, mean, maximum, two derived phase-based compounding. The compounded compared calculating signal-to-noise ratios contrast at manually identified anatomical positions within visual inspection experienced echocardiographers. results indicate that ratio can be improved a coherent produced (10+)
