Abstract
A system and method for simultaneously displaying an ultrasound image of an area of interest and a magnified portion of the image are disclosed. Pixel locations on the display device are translated to locations within the area of interest. Signals corresponding to locations adjacent to the translated location are acquired and multiplied with coefficients. The coefficients may be varied in real time to address, for example, context dependence. The multiplied signals are summed to form an interpolated signal corresponding to a given pixel.
