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!
