137};This React implementation showcases a polar heatmap for ultrasound visualization using SciChart.js. The example demonstrates seamless integration of medical imaging data within a React component through the SciChart React wrapper.
The chart is initialized via the drawExample function passed to SciChartReact's initChart prop. The polar surface is configured with specialized axes and a UniformHeatmapDataSeries containing ultrasound intensity values. The React component handles the chart lifecycle automatically, including cleanup when unmounted.
The example highlights medical-specific features including anatomical measurement annotations and a sector-limited polar view. The implementation leverages SciChart's WebGL rendering for high-performance visualization of large ultrasound datasets, with interactive navigation tools for detailed examination.
