Title:
Noninvasive diagnosing method
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6005715
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method of evaluating a physiological condition of bodily tissue, the method comprising: repositioning one or more ultrasound transducers (150) over a patient's epidermis to generate ultrasound transducer data of a bone of the patient; tracking the repositioning of the one or more ultrasound transducers in three dimensions using at least one inertial measurement unit (170) to generate 3D position data; correlating the ultrasound transducer data and the 3D position data to generate a 3D map comprising a plurality of 3D points representing a surface of the bone; using the 3D map to carry out a deformation process of a default 3D bone model resulting in a patient-specific, virtual 3D model of the bone; visually displaying the virtual 3D model of the bone.
