Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING A VIRTUAL 3D MODEL FROM A 2D ULTRASOUND VIDEO
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/064248
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A method for creating a three-dimensional image of an object from a two-dimensional ultrasound video is provided. The method includes acquiring a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images of the object and recording a plurality of videos based on the acquired two-dimensional ultrasound images. Each of the videos includes a plurality of frames. The method further includes separating each of the plurality of frames, cropping each of the plurality of frames to isolate structures intended to be reconstructed, selecting a frame near a center of the object and rotating the image to create a main horizontal landmark, and aligning each frame to the main horizontal landmark. The method also includes removing inter-frame jitter by aligning each of the plurality of frames relative to a previous frame of the plurality of frames, reducing the noise of each of the frames, and stacking each of the frames into a three- dimensional volume.
