SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FUSING SENSOR AND IMAGE DATA FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL VOLUME RECONSTRUCTION

摘要

An imaging system for generating three-dimensional (3D) images includes an imaging probe for acquiring two-dimensional (2D) image data of a region of interest. A sensor is coupled with the imaging probe to determine positional data related to a position of the imaging probe. A position determination module utilizes the image data acquired with the imaging probe and the positional data determined by the sensor to calculate a probe location with respect to the acquired 2D image data. An imaging module is configured to reconstruct a 3D image of the region of interest based on the 2D image data and the determined probe locations.
