Abstract :
Presents a system that allows the acquisition of 2D echographical images that can later be used for the reconstruction of a 3D representation of the human heart. The acquisition process is automatic, so that no interaction by the operator is necessary. The system is based on the so-called `rotational method´ and is conceived such that it can be used with virtually any existing echograph. The 2D images are provided in a digitized form and can be used instantly for further processing
