Abstract

We have proposed the generic computing of 3D ultrasound volumetric reconstruction and measurement using visualization toolkit (VTK) open source computing approach. In present research, we have investigated the extent of voxel conversion from two dimensional image pixels to three dimension volume spacing. This is essentially important to analyze that the measurement on 3D volumetric possesses higher impact and accuracyvis-à-vis 2D image measurement. For that reason, we have developed measurement algorithm in 3D spaces via the expansion of Euclidean equation. Simulated results on ultrasound fetal training phantom indicate that the measurements are promising and consistent.

 

Key words: Ultrasound, three dimension, volumetric, rendering, measurement, Euclidean, distance, Visualization toolkit (VTK).
