Ultrasound is an inexpensive and widely used imaging modality for the diagnosis and
staging of a number of diseases. In the past two decades, it has benefited from major …

Three-dimensional (3-D) imaging of the heart is a rapidly developing area of research in
medical imaging. Advances in hardware and methods for fast spatio-temporal cardiac …

We describe initial results which show “live” ultrasound echography data visualized within a
pregnant human subject. The visualization is achieved by using a small video camera …

Transducer design and phased array beam steering are developed for a volumetric
ultrasound scanner that enables the 3-D visualization of dynamic structures in real time. The …

The development of 3-D ultrasound imaging is a way to address the disadvantages of
conventional ultrasound imaging. In this article the authors review approaches that have …

The objective of this article is to provide scientists, engineers and clinicians with an up-to–
date overview on the current state of development in the area of three-dimensional …

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) is increasingly being introduced in the clinic, both
for diagnostics and image guidance. Although dedicated 3D US probes exist, 3D US can …

A real time volumetric ultrasound imaging system has been developed for medical
diagnosis. The scanner produces images analogous to an optical camera and supplies …

The auscultation method is an important diagnostic indicator for hemodynamic anomalies.
Heart sound classification and analysis play an important role in the auscultative diagnosis …

An apparatus that allows the three-dimensional recon struction of anatomic structures
through the acquisition of two-dimensional echographic images produced by the real-time …
