    • The present invention proposes an ultrasound imaging system and a method of calculating a perfusion parameter ratio. The proposed approach comprises: acquiring a time intensity curve of a contrast agent for each region unit of a plurality of region units of an imaging region of a subject, each region unit comprising one or more points of the imaging region; selecting, among the plurality of region units, a first, second and third sets of region units respectively corresponding to normal tissue, vessel and background noise, based on the time-intensity curves; calculating a perfusion parameter for each of one or more region units of the first set of region units and a perfusion parameter for a region of interest in the imaging region based on the calculated time-intensity curves; calculating a reference perfusion parameter based on the perfusion parameters of the one or more region units; and calculating a ratio value for the region of interest as a ratio of the perfusion parameter of the region of interest and the reference perfusion parameter. Since the reference perfusion parameter is calculated based on the one or more region units which are automatically selected, the approach requires no manual manipulation and the calculated perfusion parameter ratios are independent of operator experience.

    • The present invention provides an ultrasound imaging system and an ultrasound imaging method for improving the imaging quality of the desired imaging plane in the volume of interest of a subject. According to the present invention, it is possible to directly scan the desired imaging plane by exploiting the capability of a 2D matrix ultrasound transducer and/or the flexibility of the position/orientation of the ultrasound probe. In some cases, the setting parameters of the transducer elements can be adjusted so that the ultrasound signal transmitted from the transducer elements is able to derive ultrasound echo data of the desired imaging plane without moving the probe. In other cases where the desired imaging plane cannot be directly scanned without changing the position/orientation of the ultrasound probe, the position/orientation of the ultrasound probe can be adjusted by means of user interaction, namely by outputting the instruction for guiding the user to move the probe so as to enable direct scanning of the desired imaging plane. In this way, the image of the desired imaging plane is not reconstructed by interpolation of the ultrasound echo data of the plurality of scanning planes (which are determined by the setting parameters of the transducer elements), but instead it is reconstructed from the ultrasound echo data of the desired imaging plane itself. In other words, the desired imaging plane is directly scanned. Thus, the image quality of the desired imaging plane is improved and may help doctors conduct a more accurate diagnosis.
