Summary:The development of an interactive system that will display 3-D
structures from a series of 2-D images acquired incrementally by a
conventional 2-D ultrasound echographic (2DE) scanner is discussed. The
user-guided scanner head is mounted on a mechanical arm that tracks the
position and orientation of an image frame. The design and
implementation of the system, visualization algorithm, and results of an
experiment with a doll phantom to test its feasibility are
reported
