Improved temporal calibration of tracked ultrasound: an open-source solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In tracked ultrasound systems, temporal misalignment between image and tracker data results in incorrect image pose. We present a fully automatic temporal calibration. We image a flat plate in water with a tracked probe undergoing periodic uniaxial freehand translation. Using robust line detection scheme, we compute temporal misalignment as difference between probe and corresponding image position. From 240 sequences, standard deviation was under 5ms for standard imaging parameters. Source code is available in Public Library for Ultrasound Research, PLUS (www.plustoolkit.org).

Phoneme Classification Using Temporal Tracking of Speech Clusters in Spectro-temporal Domain
This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
متن کاملTracked Ultrasound in Navigated Spine Interventions
Ultrasound is an increasingly popular imaging modality in image-guided interventions, due to its safety, accessibility, and low cost. But ultrasound imaging has a steep learning curve, and requires significant coordination skills from the operator. It is difficult to interpret cross-sectional anatomy in arbitrary angles, and even more challenging to orient a needle with respect to the ultrasoun...
متن کاملCIS-UltraCal: An open-source ultrasound calibration toolkit
We present an open-source MATLAB toolkit for ultrasound calibration. It has a convenient graphical user interface which sits on top of an extensive API. Calibration using three different phantoms is explicitly supported: the cross-wire phantom, the single-wall phantom, and the Hopkins phantom. Image processing of the Hopkins phantom is automated by making use of techniques from binary morpholog...
متن کاملValidation of model-based deformation correction in image-guided liver surgery via tracked intraoperative ultrasound: preliminary method and results
Soft tissue deformation represents a significant error source in current surgical navigation systems used for open hepatic procedures. While numerous algorithms have been proposed to rectify the tissue deformation that is encountered during open liver surgery, clinical validation of the proposed methods has been limited to surface based metrics and sub-surface validation has largely been perfor...
متن کاملSimilarity Registration Problems for 2D/3D Ultrasound Calibration
We propose a minimal solution for the similarity registration (rigid pose and scale) between two sets of 3D lines, and also between a set of co-planar points and a set of 3D lines. The first problem is solved up to 8 discrete solutions with a minimum of 2 line-line correspondences, while the second is solved up to 4 discrete solutions using 4 point-line correspondences. We use these algorithms ...
