Freehand 3D Ultrasound Calibration: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Freehand three-dimensional ultrasound is a technique for acquiring ultrasonic data of a 3D volume by recording the trajectory of the ultrasound probe using a position sensor. In planning and registration, a freehand ultrasound systems is used to track a two-dimensional probe. Probe calibration is necessary to find the rigid body transformation from the coordinate system of the B-scan to that of the mobile part of the position sensor. Numerous techniques for this have been developed over the past decade. In this review, we give a comprehensive description of existing calibration techniques and classify them according to the mathematical principles on which they are based. We give a thorough analysis of these approaches based on their accuracy, ease of use, reliability, and speed of calibration. To ensure consistency, these comparisons are done by the authors based on experimental results and not on figures quoted in previous papers.

متن کاملImage-Based Method for In-Vivo Freehand Ultrasound Calibration
For freehand ultrasound systems, a calibration method is necessary to locate the position and orientation of a 2D B-mode ultrasound image plane with respect to a position sensor attached to the transducer. In addition, the acquisition time discrepancy between the position measurements and the image frames has the be computed. We developed a new method that adresses both of these problems, based...
متن کاملRobust and Automatic Calibration Method for 3D Freehand Ultrasound
This paper describes a new robust and fully automatic method for calibration of three-dimensional (3D) freehand ultrasound. 3D Freehand ultrasound consists in mounting a position sensor on a standard probe. The echographic B-scans can be localized in 3D, and can be compounded into a volume. However, especially for quantitative use, this process dramatically requires a calibration procedure that...
متن کاملA fully automatic calibration procedure for freehand 3D ultrasound
This paper describes a novel method for calibration of freehand three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound. A position sensor is mounted on a conventional ultrasound probe, thus the set of B-scans can be localized in 3D, and can be compounded into a volume. The calibration process aims at determining the transformation (translations, rotations, scaling) between the coordinates system of images and the c...
