Original Abstract

In clinical applications 3D freehand ultrasound is finding its place and with higher fidelity of imaging is now partly applicable in common use. A positional sensor is attached to a conventional ultrasound probe, so that as B-scans are acquired they can be labeled with their relative positions and orientations. This allows 3D voxel array to be compounded from several B-scans. Such array can be visualized using plane slicing, volume rendering or surface rendering. A key requirement in freehand imaging is calibration; determining the position and orientation of the B-scan with respect to the position sensor.

Key words in English
