Enhanced Visualization of Fine Needles Under Sonographic Guidance Using a MEMS Actuator
Localization of a needle tip is important for biopsy examinations in clinics. However, the needle tip is sometimes difficult to discern under the guidance of sonography due to its poor visibility. A mini actuator that radiates a low-intensity ultrasound wave was manufactured using micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology. Interference between the radiated and diagnostic ultrasound puls...
متن کاملPuncture of thoracic lesions under sonographic guidance.
Thirty-six punctures of thoracic lesions have been performed with a compound B-scanner or a real-time linear-array scanner for guidance. Twenty-three fluid collections were punctured and aspiration biopsies were performed on 13 echogenic lesions. All the punctures were successful at the first attempt. No complications occurred. The results confirm the usefulness of sonography for guiding punctu...
متن کاملEnhanced Ultrasound Visualization for Procedure Guidance
Intra-cardiac procedures often involve fast-moving anatomic structures with large spatial extent and high geometrical complexity. Real-time visualization of the moving structures and instrument-tissue contact is crucial to the success of these procedures. Real-time 3D ultrasound is a promising modality for procedure guidance as it offers improved spatial orientation information relative to 2D u...
متن کاملHybrid Tracking and Visualization of Therapeutic Devices under MRI Guidance
INTRODUCTION Despite recognition and study of various problems associated with MRI-guided tracking and visualization of therapeutic endovascular devices such as catheters and guidewires, it remains a challenge to consistently track and visualize a broad range of such devices under any circumstances. Active and passive methods can be used to track and visualize the placement of such devices unde...
متن کاملContextually Enhanced 3D Visualization for Multi-burn Tumor Ablation Guidance
We introduce visualization methods for augmented and virtual reality displays that guide minimally invasive tumor-targeting interventions, such as radio-frequency ablation (RFA). Our experimental RFA guidance system performs virtual ablations that geometrically match the real ablations in statically registered phantoms. It provides a head-tracked stereoscopic display that shows a real-time, mot...
