3D FREEHAND ULTRASOUND: RECONSTRUCTION AND FEATURES EXTRACTION IN LOWER LIMB MUSCLE

Ultrasound systems can be enhanced to combine 3D data and corresponding spatial information. This approach, called 3D freehand Ultrasound (3DFUS), uses ultrasound (US) images and the corresponding pose of the transducer with the purpose of reconstructing the 3D morphology for large anatomical parts. So far, this 3D reconstruction has only limited clinical use as the procedure is not widely accessible and features extraction is very time consuming. Our current work is aimed at developing a new tool for image reconstruction and to optimizing the features extraction process in 3DFUS.status: accepte
