FOUR-DIMENSIONAL LUNG ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR IMAGE-GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES

Described herein are systems for 4D imaging of the lung based on live 2D ultrasound images. An ultrasound probe generates 2D image data of the lung during a plurality of breathing cycles. A computer is programmed and operable to group the 2D image data into subsets based on their point (or optionall...

Zusammenfassung:	Described herein are systems for 4D imaging of the lung based on live 2D ultrasound images. An ultrasound probe generates 2D image data of the lung during a plurality of breathing cycles. A computer is programmed and operable to group the 2D image data into subsets based on their point (or optionally phase) in the breathing cycle, and to reconstruct the 2D image data subsets into a 3D image volume based on the location information of the probe. Optionally, the 3D reconstructed image volume is displayed with target and route information. In embodiments, the computer is further operable to detect and track a surgical device in the lung such as an aspiration needle and to display the surgical device in the 3D reconstructed image volume for assisting the physician reach the target. Related methods are also described.
