چکیده
W e have been developing an interactive system that wil! display 3D structures from a series o f two-dimensional 2D images acquired incrementally by a conventional 2D ultrasound echographic (2DE) scanner. T h e user-guided scanner head is mounted on a mechanical arm that tracks the position and orientation of an image frame. W e expect in the coming year t o complete a version of the system in which the 3D image will be reconstructed incrementally in real-time during the scanning process. This paper reports on the design and implementation o f the system, visualization algorithm, and the results o f an experiment with a doll phantom t o test its feasibility.

Incremental Volume Rendereing Algorithm for Interactive 3d Ultrasound Imaging
This paper describes a medical 3D ulwasound imaging system that incrementally acquires and visualizes a 3D volume from a series of 2D images. The system acquires the image from a conventional B-mode 2D echography scanner, whose scanhead is attached to a mechanical tracking arm with three degrees of freedom. It reconstructs a stream of 2D images with their locations and orientations into a 3D ar...
متن کاملAn overview of clinical PET/CT
This article is intended to provide an overview of various aspects of clinical PET/CT. These include discussions of: (i) Important areas of clinical application; (ii) Opportunities in clinical research; (iii) Scanner and operating-mode considerations (e.g. BGO vs. LSO, LYSO or GSO scanners, 2D vs. 3D imaging). (iv) Study-specific considerations (e.g. patient preparation and positioning is...
متن کاملAdaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging
In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...

متن کاملSimulation of ultrasound two-dimensional array transducers using a frequency domain model.
Ultrasound imaging with two-dimensional (2D) arrays has garnered broad interest from scanner manufacturers and researchers for real time three-dimensional (3D) applications. Previously the authors described a frequency domain B-mode imaging model applicable for linear and phased array transducers. In this paper, the authors extend this model to incorporate 2D array transducers. Further approxim...
