Freehand 3D Ultrasound Calibration: A Review

  • Chapter
Advanced Imaging in Biology and Medicine

Abstract

Freehand three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound is a technique for acquiring 3D ultrasound data by measuring the trajectory of a conventional 2D ultrasound probe as a clinician moves it across an object of interest.

The probe trajectory is measured by fixing some sort of position sensor onto it. The position sensor, however, can only measure its own trajectory, and a further six-degree-of-freedom transformation is required to map from the location and orientation of the position sensor to the location and orientation at which the ultrasound image is acquired. The process of determining this transformation is known as calibration. Accurate calibration is difficult to achieve and it is critical to the validity of the acquired data. This chapter describes the techniques that have been developed to solve this calibration problem and discusses their strengths and weaknesses.
