Device and method for displaying three-dimensional data of an ultrasound echography device

摘要

The system includes an ultrasound echograph (31) fitted with a TV monitor (32), a 3D probe (33) for analysing a subject, acquisition means (39), a memory card (board) (42) for storing the detected acoustic lines and a workstation (34) with a microprocessor (35) and a 3D echography memory (38). For reading the latter memory (38), the system includes a display device consisting of a dummy (mannequin) (56) simulating the subject, and a 3D orientation sensor (52) connected to the workstation via a 3D coordinate indicator (54) and visual display means (29) of the workstation which make the section plane which the sensor points towards the dummy correspond to the equivalent plane contained in the form of voxels in the echography memory (38) and display this plane on the screen of the TV monitor (32). Application to medical ultrasoound echography. IMAGE
