Cine-loop adjustment

1. A method for adjusting a cine-loop, comprising:

generating a cine-loop by selecting a start frame, selecting an end frame and stitching the end frame to the start frame;

identifying whether the cine-loop has a stitching artifact; and, if so

playing the cine-loop having the stitching artifact; and

adjusting a length of the cine-loop while the cine-loop is playing by adjusting at least one of the start frame and the end frame until the stitching artifact is substantially removed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cine-loop is adjusted to capture a single heartbeat, and wherein the stitching artifact is based on a cine-length that is either too short or too long in comparison to a period of the single heartbeat.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the generating a cine-loop comprises:

generating a cine-loop having a motion artifact, wherein a motion artifact is a result of movement of an imaged object during image capture; and

adjusting the start frame of the cine-loop while the first cine-loop is playing until the motion artifact is substantially reduced.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the start frame comprises a starting volume associated with a beginning of a heart contraction and the end frame comprises an ending volume based on the average time for one heartbeat, and generating the cine-loop comprises:

stitching the ending volume to the starting volume to create a four dimensional image capture loop of the heartbeat.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the length of the cine-loop is adjusted such that the cine-loop ends before another heart contraction begins.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the cine-loop is adjusted such that the cine-loop ends after an entire diastole period following the heart contraction associated with the selected starting volume.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cine-loop comprises one or more of:

a four dimensional image capture;

a two dimensional image capture;

a two-dimensional image capture comprising Doppler image data;

a four-dimensional image capture comprising Doppler image data; or

any combination thereof.

8. A system for adjusting a cine-loop, comprising:

a processing device; and

an adjustment module comprising logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic to:

generate a cine-loop by stitching an end frame to a start frame;

identify whether the cine-loop has a stitching artifact; and, if so

play the cine-loop having the stitching artifact; and

adjust a length of the cine-loop while the cine-loop is playing by adjusting at least one of the start frame and the end frame until the stitching artifact is substantially removed.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cine-loop is adjusted to capture a single heartbeat, wherein the stitching artifact is based on a cine-length that is either too short or too long in comparison to a period of the single heartbeat, and wherein the cine-loop having the stitching artifact is identified based on a cine-length generating a jump within the cine-loop when the cine-loop is played.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the generating a cine-loop comprises:

generating a cine-loop having a motion artifact, wherein a motion artifact is a result of movement of an imaged object during image capture; and

adjusting the start frame of the cine-loop while the first cine-loop is playing until the motion artifact is substantially reduced.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the adjustment module is configured to:

identify the start frame by selecting a starting volume associated with a beginning of a heart contraction;

identify the end frame by selecting an ending volume based on the an average time for one heartbeat; and

generate the cine-loop by stitching the ending volume to the starting volume to create a four dimensional image capture loop of the heartbeat.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the length of the cine-loop is adjusted such that the cine-loop ends before another heart contraction begins.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the cine-loop is adjusted such that the cine-loop ends after an entire diastole period following the heart contraction associated with the selected starting volume.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cine-loop is a four dimensional image capture.

15. A computer-readable medium for generating a cine-loop, the computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable code to:

generate a cine-loop by identifying a start frame, identifying an end frame and stitching the end frame to the start frame; and

wherein the cine-loop is generated by automatically determining a cine-loop length to substantially remove a stitching artifact.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the cine-loop is a capture of a single heartbeat, the start frame comprises a start volume and the end frame comprises a stop volume, and wherein the cine-loop length is determined by:

identifying the start volume;

identifying a location of a moving component of a heart generating the heartbeat;

determining when the moving component returns to the identified location; and

selecting the stop volume based on when the moving component returns to the identified location.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising processor-executable code to enable a user to play the cine-loop having the stitching artifact.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising processor-executable code to enable a user to adjust a length of the cine-loop while the cine-loop is playing until the stitching artifact is substantially removed.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the stitching artifact is identified based on a cine-length generating a jump within cine-loop when the cine-loop is played.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the generating a cine-loop comprises:

generating a cine-loop having a motion artifact, wherein a motion artifact is a result of movement of an imaged object during image capture; and

adjusting the start frame of the cine-loop while the first cine-loop is playing until the motion artifact is substantially reduced.
