Project Description

Objective

• Evaluate resolution limits of ultrasound 3D reconstruction by comparing feature detection on a phantom.
  • Study effect of tracking variabilities and tracker/image synchronization on reconstruction accuracy
  • Consider what inherent limitations are imposed by the resolution of the US
  • Compare to gold standard uCT
• Integrate the TeleMed US scanner with PLUS and Slicer

Approach, Plan

• Hook up the tracked Ultrasound
• Test with Elephantom
• Compare with microCT gold standard

Progress

• Used 3D printed tracker holder
• Made several test scans
• Experimented with limits of current implementation and inherent limitations of the probe
• PLUS TeleMed through OpenIGTLink / SlicerIGT works great!
