Real-time 3D ultrasound reconstruction using 3D Slicer + SlicerIGT

Ultrasound is inexpensive, portable, non-invasive imaging modality, which can be combined with low-cost position-tracking systems to reconstruct 3D model of internal structures in real-time.

This demo video shows how 3D Slicer and its SlicerIGT extension can be configured to implement such a 3D imaging system. First part of the video shows how to set up the data acquisition and visualization from scratch (need to be done only once, as all the settings can be saved in the 3D Slicer scene file). Second part of the video shows bone surface reconstruction example on a femur head phantom using two reconstruction methods (maximum and mean).

Hello! I need to record position of the transducer while capturing 2D ultrasound imagery. What position tracker did you use (appears to be the orange attachment on the transducer)? Thank you!!

[abdoullahdiallo]

Thanks a lot.
Please, what kind of webcam do you use for the Real-time 3D reconstruction ?

Hello i loved this video, so much oportunities that could come from this.... but if i scann a bone surface, i can create a stl. file with the data captured ?

Great video! Is there a way to do this but with volume to volume? Meaning, stitching outputs of a 4D probe rather than a 2D crossectional one like the one used in this video? Cheers.

Hello. thanks for the video. could you please share the config file?

Any 3D Obstetric USG repository in DICOM format? Thank you

[newmorning]

May I check what is the position-tracking system which you used in this video?

How is the ultrasound machine connected to the computer? USB? LAN? WiFi?

Hello, this is amawing and would be super useful! I just have a problem importing the file as TEXT. The only option I have is VOLUME.
Any idea how I can get to upload my file as text?

Thank you so much in advance!

In the Subject Hierarchy I do not get image data, neither transform data?

hello, I can not find the PlusRemote module in my 3dSlicer, where to find it? How can I solve the problem?

Hello, with this program I can see in 3d any ultrasound of a pregnant woman?
