Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system generates an ultrasound image that represents ultrasound intensity as a function of position within an object, such as a patient's body. An ultrasound intensity range of interest is selected, and one or more areas of the ultrasound image which represent ultrasound intensities within the selected intensity range are highlighted, typically with a distinctive color. The highlighting of a selected intensity range facilitates analysis of the image and, in particular, facilitates differentiation of tissue types. Highlighting is typically performed within a defined region of interest of the ultrasound image.
