“…In addition, compared with 2D US, 3D US better allows comparisons of full data sets over time, thereby improving the accuracy of the evaluation of breast masses during follow-up or the monitoring performed to determine the effects of therapy (5). Advantages of 3D US over 2D US have been recently discovered from studies on computer-aided classification (19,20), breast biopsy (21,22), and power Doppler US (23).…”

Freehand three-dimensional ultrasound is a technique for acquiring ultrasonic data of a 3D volume by recording the trajectory of the ultrasound probe using a position sensor. In planning and registration, a freehand ultrasound systems is used to track a two-dimensional probe. Probe calibration is necessary to find the rigid body transformation from the coordinate system of the B-scan to that of the mobile part of the position sensor. Numerous techniques for this have been developed over the past decade. In this review, we give a comprehensive description of existing calibration techniques and classify them according to the mathematical principles on which they are based. We give a thorough analysis of these approaches based on their accuracy, ease of use, reliability, and speed of calibration. To ensure consistency, these comparisons are done by the authors based on experimental results and not on figures quoted in previous papers.

“…These probes are now used not only in evaluating fetal and maternal anomalies but in improving the workflow [2]. Also, they are being evaluated for performing biopsy guidance [16,17]. 3D mechanical probes are currently available in many commercial ultrasound machines, e.g., GE Voluson, Philips iU22, Siemens Acuson S2000, Medison Accuvix V20 and Hitachi Hi Vision Preirus.…”

Reconstruction error in 3D ultrasound imaging with mechanical probes

et al. 2010

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound data are acquired mostly using a dedicated mechanical probe that houses a 1D array transducer. This 1D transducer swivels back and forth continuously in the elevation direction (continuous scanning) for fast acquisition. When 3D ultrasound data are acquired via continuous scanning but the continuous motion of a transducer is not taken into account during reconstruction, the reconstructed volume contains error. In this study, we systematically analyzed this error, which is a complex function of many parameters. The error increases when the transducer angular speed (ω) increases. Also, it varies depending on the voxel location inside an acquired volume. The mean error is calculated by averaging the errors at all acquired voxel locations. With a 60-degree volume angle, a 60-degree sector angle, 12-cm scan depth and 48 transmit beams per slice, the mean error is 5.3 mm when ω is 0.6 degrees/ms. When ω is reduced to 0.1 degrees/ms, the mean error decreases to 0.81 mm. We also assessed the impact of this error on the reconstructed images of a 3D phantom using simulation. At high angular speeds, the error in reconstructed images becomes noticeable and results in missing parts, geometric distortion and lowered image quality.
