THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND RECONSTRUCTION OF LEFT VENTRICLE BASED ON A MAGNETIC TRACKING SYSTEM

摘要

Each of existing methods of there-dimensional echocardiography suffers from inherent restrictions that limit its applicability to the full of clinical situations. In this paper a new technique is proposed to reconstruct left ventricle (LV) from multiple acoustic windows acquisition based on a magnetic tracking system to locate the ultrasound image planes. A novel software of reconstruction is developed using the "minimum offset" algorithm on PC context. This data acquisition and reconstruction method can overcome limitations in currently available system.
