Ultrasound signals from the probe are processed via a clinical ultrasound machine for generating multiple images of the organ. The proprietary software being executed on the computer collects the 2-D ultrasound images of the clinical ultrasound machine and reconstructs these images to form a 3-D display which can be viewed and manipulated in real time, or stored for later retrieval.Field of SearchULTRASOUND 3-D IMAGING | |
