Abstract

A method (100) for generating a radial velocity map for a target region, comprising: (i) receiving (120) a series of ultrasound images of the target region; (ii) generating (130) a grid representing the target region and comprising a plurality of points each representing a possible radial center in the target region; (iii) generating (140) a radial flux magnitude map for the grid comprising a radial contrast flux for each of the points, comprising the following which are repeated until a radial contrast flux is calculated for each of the points: selecting (142) one of the points as a radial ce…
