Abstract
3D freehand Ultrasound reconstruction is one of
many choices to assemble 3D ultrasound volume from 2D
ultrasound images with benefit in low-cost operations,
conveniency and ease of usage which can be applied to intraoperative
imaging. Ultrasound calibration is the procedure
used to find the position and orientation of each acquired 2D
ultrasound image in 3D space, hence is needed to be performed
before freely moving the ultrasound probe to collect images
and reconstruct 3D ultrasound volume. In this paper, we
propose our ultrasound calibration system, programmed to be
an automated calibration tool—the most convenient and
suitable for regular ultrasound calibration performance. The
system provides user interface for collecting data from
calibration performance, automated ultrasound image
segmentation and calibration in an orderly manner. The users
are not required to manually select the proper image set or
extract images’ feature as an input for the system as opposed
to other regular procedures. An option to switch to semiautomatic
mode is also added to overcome the problem of
segmenting the input images which are low in quality.
Hopkins’ phantom and N-wired phantom are supported by the
prototype system for the sake of further development.
