    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a two-dimensional (2D) transducer array in which a plurality of transducers that transmit/receive an ultrasound signal to/from an object are arranged in two dimensions; an analog beamformer configured to perform analog beamforming in a first direction, and perform analog beamforming in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on signals respectively received by the plurality of transducers; and a digital beamformer configured to perform digital beamforming on the signals that are analog-beamformed in the first direction, and perform digital beamforming on the signals that are analog-beamformed in the second direction.

    Abstract: A medical imaging apparatus comprises processing circuitry configured to: receive three-dimensional flow data, wherein the three-dimensional flow data comprises data acquired by medical imaging of a subject; perform a first intensity projection to process first flow data corresponding to a first region in the three-dimensional flow data having a first direction of flow, thereby obtaining a first color; perform a second, independent intensity projection to process second flow data corresponding to a second region in the three-dimensional flow data having a second direction of flow which is different from the first direction of flow, thereby obtaining a second color; combine the first color and the second color to obtain a combined color; and generate volume rendering image data based on the combined color.

    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry includes: transmitter/receiver circuitry configured to transmit an ultrasound wave to the inside of an examined subject and to receive an echo signal emitted in response to the ultrasound wave; and processing circuitry configured to extract, with respect to each spatial point, information that is related to motion velocity of a target inside the examined subject and included in a signal data sequence obtained from the echo signal, to calculate periodicity information of a movement of the examined subject on the basis of the information, and to generate a spatial distribution of the periodicity information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for microvasculature imaging acquisition are disclosed. In aspects, a full frame corresponding to a field of view of an ultrasound scanner is divided into small portions, each of which is individually scanned for a desired period of time at a higher frame rate than the ultrasound scanner is capable of using to scan the full frame. These ultrasound data acquisition techniques enable super-resolution image processing or high-sensitivity microvascular-doppler image processing to be used to track low-intensity, slow-flow microvasculature of an anatomy of a subject.
