1. A method for determining acoustic contact of an ultrasound probe with an object, said method comprising: receiving radio frequency (RF) scanline data; utilizing the RF scan line data to generate a lateral map; calculating a lateral frequency spectrum using the lateral map; applying at least one of a temporal and a spatial averaging filter to the lateral frequency spectrum to determine acoustic contact of the ultrasound probe with the object; displaying indicators of acoustic contact of the ultrasound probe with an object based on the frequency analysis.
