Vorrichtung und Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Ort und Lage einer Ultraschallgeberfläche im Raum

摘要

A camera (5) with a stand (6) fixes on a lying surface (2) for a patient (1). An ultrasound examination is conducted on a patient with an ultrasound head (3) that supports a measuring sphere (4). The camera generates a picture of the sphere on a screen (7). The ultrasound head directs ultrasound into the patient over a rectangular transducer surface. The sphere's axis running parallel to the norm of the transducer surface is defined as a north/south axis for the sphere. An Independent claim is also included for a method for determining location and position of an ultrasound transmitter surface for an ultrasound head in a room in relation to a human thorax.
