Abstract

The development of an interactive system that will display 3-D structures from a series of 2-D images acquired incrementally by a conventional 2-D ultrasound echographic (2DE) scanner is discussed. The user-guided scanner head is mounted on a mechanical arm that tracks the position and orientation of an image frame. The design and implementation of the system, visualization algorithm, and results of an experiment with a doll phantom to test its feasibility are reported
