Surface refraction of sound waves affects calibration of three-dimensional ultrasound
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) is used in planning and treatment during external beam radiotherapy. The accuracy of the technique depends not only on the achievable image quality in clinical routine, but also on technical limitations of achievable precision during calibration. Refraction of ultrasound waves is a known source for geometric distortion, but such an effect was not ...
متن کاملFreehand Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Calibration
Freehand three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound is a technique for acquiring ultrasonic data of a 3D volume with application in radiotherapy and surgery planning. As the clinician sweeps the ultrasound probe over the anatomy, the trajectory of the probe is recorded using an attached position sensor. However, the position sensor tracks the position of the sensor, rather than the ultrasound B-scan. It...
متن کاملSurface extraction from three dimensional ultrasound
This paper presents a system for acquiring three dimensional ultrasound data and extracting surfaces of the examined structures. The acquisition is performed freehand with a PC-based two-dimensional ultrasound machine and an optical tracker. The extraction of surfaces from ultrasound data is normally inhibited by speckle, shadowing and gaps in the acquired data. A new method is developed that e...
متن کاملThree-dimensional manipulation of single cells using surface acoustic waves.
The ability of surface acoustic waves to trap and manipulate micrometer-scale particles and biological cells has led to many applications involving "acoustic tweezers" in biology, chemistry, engineering, and medicine. Here, we present 3D acoustic tweezers, which use surface acoustic waves to create 3D trapping nodes for the capture and manipulation of microparticles and cells along three mutual...
