Image Fusion in 3d Ultrasound Scan of Residual Limbs
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ultrasound system for imaging residual limbs has been developed that employs a fast vertical scan mode and a compound horizontal scan mode. In this paper, a method for fusing the data acquired from these two scan modes into a 3D volurnetzic image is described. Result from scanning a residual limb is presented.

Is Foley Catheter Able to Drain the Bladder Completely in the Morning for Patients in ICU?
Introduction: Foley catheters are assumed to drain the bladder completely. It is known that uncompleted drainage leads to multiple complications, such as asymptomatic bacteriuria and urinary tract infection. Methods: From 116 patients, who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 24 hours, were enrolled in this study. To measure the urine level in bladder in the morning before a...
متن کاملSPECT-US image fusion and clinical applications
Because scintigraphic images lack anatomical information, single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography systems (PET) are combined physically with CTs to compensate for this drawback. In our work, we present a method where the CT is replaced by a 3D ultrasound device. Because in this case a mechanical linkage is not possible, we use an additional optical tracking sy...
متن کاملTest of a vertical scan mode in 3-D imaging of residual limbs using ultrasound.
We have developed a new ultrasound system for imaging residual limbs that employs two scan modes: a vertical scan mode (VSM) primarily used for capturing the skin surface, and a horizontal compound scan mode (HCSM) primarily used for imaging the internal tissue structures. Since the HCSM was described previously (J Rehabil Res Dev 1997;34(3):269-78), the main purpose of this article is to eluci...

Objective: to compare the estimated thyroid volume, as determined by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography, with real volume. Design: Descriptive Study Animals: A total of 7 mixed breed dogs Procedures: On 2D ultrasound, the thyroid volume is estimated by the ellipsoid equation and on 3D ultrasound; it is estimated by outlining the boundaries of the thyroid lobe in ...
متن کاملFusion of Intraoperative 3D B-mode and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Data for Automatic Identification of Residual Brain Tumors
Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) imaging is routinely performed to assist neurosurgeons during tumor surgery. In particular, the identification of the possible presence of residual tumors at the end of the intervention is crucial for the operation outcome. B-mode ultrasound remains the standard modality because it depicts brain structures well. However, tumorous tissue is hard to differentiate f...
