Abstract:
1. An ultrasound system, comprising: a hardware processor; a display coupled to the hardware processor; and computer-readable memory comprising programs that, when executed by the hardware processor, perform operations comprising: acquiring ultrasound data on Cartesian coordinates with respect to a sample, on spherical coordinates, such that the spherical coordinates undergo a three-dimensional (3D) conversion to the Cartesian coordinates; generating a variable lookup table according to a location of the sample on the spherical coordinates corresponding to the acquired ultrasound data; performing 3D rendering with reference to the generated variable lookup table; and displaying a result of the 3D rendering, wherein the variable lookup table stores the location of the sample and, wherein the generating the variable lookup table comprises: generating variable lookup tables in various sizes based on the spherical coordinates of the sample, wherein the variable lookup table: sets a size of a first lookup table to 1 generated corresponding to a location where the focus is on, and gradually decreases a size of at least another lookup table, wherein the another lookup table is generated corresponding to a location close to the location corresponding to the first lookup table.
