Automatic Registration of 3-D Ultrasound Images
One of the most promising applications of 3-D ultrasound (US) lies in the visualisation and volume estimation of internal 3-D structures. Unfortunately, artifacts and speckle make automatic analysis of the 3-D data sets difficult. In this study, we investigated the use of 3-D spatial compounding to improve data quality, and found that precise registration is the key. A correlation-based registr...
متن کاملStatistical segmentation of surgical instruments in 3-D ultrasound images.
The recent development of real-time 3-D ultrasound (US) enables intracardiac beating-heart procedures, but the distorted appearance of surgical instruments is a major challenge to surgeons. In addition, tissue and instruments have similar gray levels in US images and the interface between instruments and tissue is poorly defined. We present an algorithm that automatically estimates instrument l...

متن کاملSpatial Compounding of 3-D Ultrasound Images
One of the most promising applications of 3-D ultrasound lies in the visualisation and volume estimation of internal 3-D structures. Unfortunately, the quality of the ultrasound data can be severely degraded by artifacts, especially speckle, making automatic analysis of the 3-D data sets very di cult. In this paper we investigate the use of 3-D spatial compounding to reduce speckle. We develop ...
