Abstract
We present an instrument tracking and visualization system for intra-cardiac ultrasound catheter guided procedures, enabled through the robotic control of ultrasound catheters. Our system allows for rapid acquisition of 2D ultrasound images and accurate reconstruction and visualization of a 3D volume. The reconstructed volume addresses the limited field of view, an inherent problem of ultrasound imaging, and serves as a navigation map for procedure guidance. Our robotic system can track a moving instrument by continuously adjusting the imaging plane and visualizing the instrument tip. The overall instrument tracking accuracy is 2.2mm RMS in position and 0.8° in angle.
