A method for enhancing an ultrasound image is provided, wherein the
ultrasound image is segmented into a feature region and a non-feature
region, while sufficiently utilizing features contained in the ultrasound
image, in particular including some inconspicuous features. The enhanced
image according to present invention is not susceptive of the image
segmentation and avoid dependence of the enhancement effect on the
segmentation template, so as not to produce an evident artificial
boundary between the feature region and the non-feature region but to
highlight some special information in the image and to remove or mitigate
invalid information. Thus the enhanced ultrasound image is particularly
suitable for the visual system of the human beings.
