Original Abstract

Conventional diagnostic ultrasound imaging is widely used in medicine because it allows dynamic analysis of moving tissues. It is non-invasive, relatively cheap and portable equipment. On other hand, the quality of ultrasound images is quite poor. The ultrasound 2D image is performed with hand-held probe which transmit ultrasound pulses into the body and receives echoes. These echoes are used to create a 2D grey-level image (B-scan) of across-section of the body in the scan plane. 3D ultrasound imaging extends this concept about volume information. In this contribution is a 3D position sensor attached to the conventional probe. This system enables 3D reconstruction of examined volume, because each B-scan can be labelled with their relative positions and orientations.

Key words in English
