  • Title: A 3D ultrasound scanner: real time filtering and rendering algorithms.
    Author: Cifarelli D, Ruggiero C, Brusacà M, Mazzarella M.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 1997; 43 Pt A():460-4. PubMed ID: 10179591.
    Abstract:
    The work described here has been carried out within a collaborative project between DIST and ESAOTE BIOMEDICA aiming to set up a new ultrasonic scanner performing 3D reconstruction. A system is being set up to process and display 3D ultrasonic data in a fast, economical and user friendly way to help the physician during diagnosis. A comparison is presented among several algorithms for digital filtering, data segmentation and rendering for real time, PC based, three-dimensional reconstruction from B-mode ultrasonic biomedical images. Several algorithms for digital filtering have been compared as relates to processing time and to final image quality. Three-dimensional data segmentation techniques and rendering has been carried out with special reference to user friendly features for foreseeable applications and reconstruction speed.
