Abstract
Real-time 3D ultrasound (3DUS) imaging offers improved spatial orientation information relative to 2D ultrasound. However, in order to improve its efficacy in guiding minimally invasive intra-cardiac procedures where real-time visual feedback of an instrument tip location is crucial, 3DUS volume visualization alone is inadequate. This paper presents a set of enhanced visualization functionalities that are able to track the tip of an instrument in slice views at real-time. User study with in vitro porcine heart indicates a speedup of over 30% in task completion time.
