“…The simplest phantom is probably a point target (Detmer et al 1994;State et al 1994;Amin et al 2001;Gooding et al 2005; Barratt et al 2006). The point is scanned from different positions and orientations and its location marked in the B-scans.…”

“…Sauer et al (2001) scanned five spheres and manually fitted their image to a circle with the corresponding diameter. Gooding et al (2005) placed a cross-wire through the centre of the sphere to ensure good alignment, while maintaining automatic segmentation. Hsu et al (2007c) scanned a phantom consisting of two cones joining at a circle.…”

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.

“…In addition to these potential sources of error, the position of the US image relative to the sensor must be calibrated accurately and precisely to avoid distortions in the reconstructed three-dimensional geometry. Calibration of this aspect of the free-hand three-dimensional scanning approach has been the subject of numerous publications [60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68].…”

The past two decades have witnessed developments of new imaging techniques that provide three-dimensional images about the interior of the human body in a manner never before available. Ultrasound (US) imaging is an important cost-effective technique used routinely in the management of a number of diseases. However, two-dimensional viewing of threedimensional anatomy, using conventional two-dimensional US, limits our ability to quantify and visualize the anatomy and guide therapy, because multiple two-dimensional images must be integrated mentally. This practice is inefficient, and may lead to variability and incorrect diagnoses. Investigators and companies have addressed these limitations by developing threedimensional US techniques. Thus, in this paper, we review the various techniques that are in current use in three-dimensional US imaging systems, with a particular emphasis placed on the geometric accuracy of the generation of three-dimensional images. The principles involved in three-dimensional US imaging are then illustrated with a diagnostic and an interventional application: (i) three-dimensional carotid US imaging for quantification and monitoring of carotid atherosclerosis and (ii) three-dimensional US-guided prostate biopsy.
