A Rayleigh reconstruction/interpolation algorithm for 3D ultrasound
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an algorithm for the reconstruction of 3D medical objects from ultrasound images. Reconstruction is performed by ®ltering and interpolating the available data using an optimal Bayesian criterion. A Rayleigh model is adopted to describe the image formation process.

MMSE Reconstruction for 3D Freehand Ultrasound Imaging
The reconstruction of 3D ultrasound (US) images from mechanically registered, but otherwise irregularly positioned, B-scan slices is of great interest in image guided therapy procedures. Conventional 3D ultrasound algorithms have low computational complexity, but the reconstructed volume suffers from severe speckle contamination. Furthermore, the current method cannot reconstruct uniform high-r...
متن کاملJoint 3D Reconstruction and Segmentation of Carotid Arteries and Plaques from US Image Sequences
This paper presents an algorithm aiming to reconstruct and segment carotid arteries and plaques from a series of ultrasound (US) images. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the volume of interest (VOI) is based on a Bayesian approach, assuming a Rayleigh model describing the observation data and a TV based prior to regularize the solution. This allows to remove speckle data which commo...
متن کاملVolumetric Intravascular Ultrasound Visualization Using Shape-based Nonlinear Interpolation
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been utilized primarily to evaluate plaque formation of the coronary and carotid arteries. Several studies have reported three-dimensional (3D) IVUS image reconstruction algorithms to better provide anatomical information of the arterial wall structure. However, most of previous 3D IVUS studies provided unrealistic morphology and acoustic information in the a...
متن کاملTitle : An Adaptive Squared - Distance - Weighted Interpolation for Volume Reconstruction in 3 D
Abstract: Volume reconstruction is a key procedure in 3D ultrasound imaging. An algorithm named as squared-distance-weighted (SDW) interpolation has been earlier proposed to reduce the blurring effect in the 3D ultrasonic images caused by the conventional distance weighted (DW) interpolation. However, the SDW parameter α, which controls the weight distribution, is a constant assigned by operato...
متن کاملVolumetric three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound visualization using shape-based nonlinear interpolation
BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a standard imaging modality for identification of plaque formation in the coronary and peripheral arteries. Volumetric three-dimensional (3D) IVUS visualization provides a powerful tool to overcome the limited comprehensive information of 2D IVUS in terms of complex spatial distribution of arterial morphology and acoustic backscatter information. Co...
