Original Abstract

In the free-hand 3D ultrasonography, the position of the us.probe of a 2D us.scanner is sensed by a special positioning subsystem so that the us.data are accompanied by the positional data. The objective of the presented work is thus to replace the positioning sensor with a technique to estimate the probe trajectory based on the B-scan images themselves. Some publications on such techniques exist, based on speckle correlation analysis, e.g. [5]-[6]. In this paper, we propose a method of a different kind expected to enable accurate positioning using image-data registering based algorithm, including possible modifications.
