Methods and systems for volume rendering using ultrasound data |
摘要 |
An ultrasound scanner may display volume renderings of objects in real time. In particular, the system can scan an object at a first time using the ultrasound scanner to provide a first 3D ultrasound dataset that represents the object and of an instrument at a first position. A volume rendering of at least a portion of the object and instrument can be displayed. The first position of the instrument can be adjusted relative to the object based on the displayed volume rendering to provide a second position of the instrument. The object is scanned at a second time using the ultrasound scanner to provide a second 3D ultrasound dataset that represents at least a portion of the object and the instrument at the second position.
