Claim One:
1. An image processing system for displaying information relating to the amplitude of displacements of wall regions of a deformable 3D object under study comprising acquisition means for acquiring image data of an image sequence of the 3D object under study, and further comprising processing means for: processing the 3D object data in the images of the sequence for locating the 3D object wall, defining at least a region of interest on the 3D object wall, and processing the image data of the 3D object wall to determine the amplitude of displacement of said region(s) of interest in function of time; constructing a first 2D simplified representation of the 3D object wall by projection of the 3D object wall along an axis, comprising the projection(s) of the region(s) of interest in said 2D simplified representation; and comprising display means for: displaying indications of the amplitudes of displacement of the region(s) of interest of the 3D object wall in the respective projection(s) of said region(s) of interest, called segments, in said constructed 2D simplified representation.
