چکیده

Intra-cardiac 3D ultrasound imaging has enabled new minimally invasive procedures. Its narrow field of view, however, limits its efficacy in guiding beating heart procedures where geometrically complex and spatially extended moving anatomic structures are often involved. In this paper, we present a system that performs electrocardiograph gated 4D mosaicing and visualization of 3DUS volumes. Real-time operation is enabled by GPU implementation. The method is validated on phantom and porcine heart data.

Enhanced 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...

Optimized Graphical Processing Unit Processing Framework for Surface Rendering in 4D Ultrasound Imaging

Four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound imaging extends the real-time capability of ultrasound to visualize a realtime volume that can be manipulated by the sonographer. Among the different visualization methods, surface rendering is a common mode for displaying volumetric datasets such as in obstetrical applications. A challenge in this mode is that surface shading is required to visualize the surfac...

Real time computation and temporal coherence of opacity transfer functions for direct volume rendering of ultrasound data.

Opacity transfer function (OTF) generation for direct volume rendering of medical image data is an intensely discussed subject. Several automatic methods exist for CT and MRI data, which are not apt for ultrasound data, mainly due to its low signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, ultrasound (US) imaging is able to produce time-varying 3D datasets in real time thus opening the door to 4D visualizat...

Subject-specific and respiration-corrected 4D liver model from real-time ultrasound image sequences

Respiratory liver motion is one of the major issues affecting the liver interventions, such as biopsy and ablation, in the clinical practice. Traditional 4D liver model methods using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) data sets for motion compensation to solve this problem have proved time-consuming and costly. In addition, the widely used freehand 3D ultrasound techni...
