Abstract

An ultrasonic contrast imaging method and apparatus thereof. The method includes acquiring N frames of contrast image in an imaging period; projecting the N frames of contrast image to obtain a projection result image of the N frames of contrast image, wherein an nth group of original contrast image is projected in a projection template to obtain a projection result image of an nth frame of original contrast image, wherein the projection template is one frame of the nth group of original contrast image, and n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, wherein the nth group of original contrast images is within a projection period and includes the nth original contrast image, and the projection period is a fixed value less than the imaging period; and displaying or storing the projection result image.
