Original Abstract

3D freehand ultrasound is an imaging technique, which is rapidly finding clinical applications. A position sensor is attached to a conventional ultrasound probe, so that B-scans are acquired along with their relative locations. This allows the B-scans to be inserted into a 3D regular voxel array, which can then be visualised using arbitrary-plane slicing, and volume and surface rendering. A key requirement for reconstruction is calibration: determining the position and orientation of the B-scans with respect to the position sensor’s receiver. Following calibration, interpolation of the set of irregularly spaced B-scans is required to reconstruct a regular voxel array. This text aims to describe several calibration techniques for 3D freehand ultrasound as published in literature.
