Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for identifying clinical markers in spatial compounded imaging. For example, an image responsive to less spatial compounding more likely preserves clinical markers than a steered compound image. By displaying both images, clinical markers are identified by the user from one image and other diagnostic information is obtained from the steered compound image. As another example, clinical marker information is identified and added back into or highlighted on a spatial compound image for identification by the user.
