Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, a 3D US imaging system for the guidance of RF ablation of uterine adenoma and uterine bleeding was developed to increase the operation success by accurate localization of the tumor position during treatment. A rotational scanning using an abdominal probe was employed. To reduce the distortion produced when the rotational axis is not collinear with the central beam of the probe, a new 3D reconstruction algorithm using 360° scanning is derived. Then, a fast 3D needle segmentation algorithm is used to find the electrode direction and determine the tip of electrode. Experiments with a water phantom demonstrated the feasibility of our 3D US image based guidance system.KeywordsStepper MotorUterine BleedingCentral BeamFrame GrabberCanada Research ChairThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
