| Abstract | Freehand 3D ultrasound imaging has been growing in popularity. However, the unavoidable reconstruction errors introduced by freehand motion have limited its usefulness. To overcome this, freehand ultrasound systems have been augmented with external tracking sensors to produce accurate 3D images in mainly experimental settings, but these systems have yet to be accepted for general clinical use. In addition, the use of external tracking sensors limits the portability of the system. This paper presents a 5 degree of freedom, low cost, integrated tracking device for quantitative, freehand, 3D ultrasound. It uses a combination of optical and inertial sensors to track the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe during a 3D scan. These sensors can be attached to or contained completely within the ultrasound transducer. Stradwin 3D ultrasound software acquires 2D image frames from the ultrasound system and position and orientation data from the tracking system to generate 3D ultrasound images in real-time. 3D reconstruction performance was evaluated by freehand scanning cylindrical inclusions in a tissue mimicking ultrasound phantom. Different scan patterns were tested to provide performance data for errors introduced in individual degrees of freedom. 3D images were formed from the data with and without the use of the tracking information, and then manually segmented. The volume and surface accuracy of the segmented regions were then compared to the ground truth. The mean volume error was 3.84% with the position information and 18.57% without. The mean RMS surface error was .381 mm with the position information and .843 mm without. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
