Ultrasonography

6.5K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Assisted Interventions
  • Ultrasound Technology

Background:

  • Intra-procedural patient anatomy acquisition is crucial for computer-assisted interventions (CAI).
  • Ultrasound (US) is advantageous for interventions due to its real-time, low-cost, and non-ionizing nature.
  • Advancing US-based CAI research requires robust, accessible tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an open-source software framework for ultrasound-based CAI applications.
  • To facilitate research and development in real-time image-guided medical procedures.
  • To provide a flexible platform for implementing novel US-guided interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MITK-US, an open-source module integrated with the Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK).
  • Applied MITK-US to implement a novel ultrasound-guided needle insertion concept.
  • Assessed performance by measuring frame rate and latency in sample and complex applications.

Main Results:

  • MITK-US successfully implemented both sample applications.
  • Achieved frame rates exceeding 24 frames per second on modern laptops.
  • Measured system latency at approximately 250 milliseconds or less.

Conclusions:

  • MITK-US serves as a viable rapid prototyping environment for ultrasound-based CAI.
  • The framework supports the development of real-time, image-guided interventional applications.
  • Facilitates innovation in ultrasound-guided medical procedures.
