Claim 0:
1. A system for visualization and quantification of ultrasound imaging data, the system comprising:
a display unit;
a processor communicatively coupled to the display unit and to an ultrasound imaging apparatus for generating an image from ultrasound data representative of a bodily structure and fluid flowing within the bodily structure, wherein the processor is configured to:
estimate axial and lateral velocity components of the fluid flowing within the bodily structure;
determine a plurality of flow directions within the image based on the axial and lateral velocity components, the flow directions each defining an angle;
automatically identifying a flow region comprising flow directions of statistical significance based on a statistical analysis indicative of the flow region having flow variability; and
responsive to the identifying, cause the display unit to display the image including the bodily structure and the statistically significant flow region automatically identified.
