Analysis of Using Multi-Angle Conventional Ultrasound Scanning for Efficient 3-D Object Imaging

The purpose of this work is to examine the possibility using multi-angle conventional ultrasound B-mode scanning in efficient 3-D imaging. In paper, volume an object reconstructed from vertical projections registered at fixed angular positions multi-element linear ultrasonic probe rotated relation submerged water. possible configurations are: lateral, top or bottom. lateral configuration, acquires 2-D images object’s cross-sections, turning around its surface. bottom on horizontal plane over under surface object. method recording structure and reconstruction algorithm have been designed. Studies show configuration could be successfully applied effective visualisation female breast vivo as new complement imaging modality prototype developed tomography scanner.
