Position Tracking Systems for Ultrasound Imaging: A Survey

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Medical Imaging Technology

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Bioengineering ((LNBE))

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of position tracking devices, the application of such system in medical imaging is increasing correspondingly. The uses of position tracking systems in ultrasound imaging have been established for more than a decade. Its implementation ranges from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound reconstruction, image registration for multimodality imaging, to image-guided navigation. This progression has brought the ultrasound imaging system become more accurate, interactive, multidimensional, and ubiquitous with other systems. This chapter provides an appraisal of various position tracking systems for ultrasound biomedical imaging applications. We highlight our study on the position tracking devices, methods overview, and position tracking implementation in ultrasound imaging systems and applications.
