INTERVENTIONAL DEVICE POSITIONING BY USING ULTRASOUND SIGNALS

The present invention relates to a system for determining the position of an interventional device (11) relative to an imaging field (B1.. K) corresponding to the type (T1.. N) of beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) currently connected to an ultrasound imaging system (14). The position is dete...

Summary:The present invention relates to a system for determining the position of an interventional device (11) relative to an imaging field (B1.. K) corresponding to the type (T1.. N) of beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) currently connected to an ultrasound imaging system (14). The position is determined based on an ultrasound signal transmitted between the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) and an ultrasound transducer (15) attached to the interventional device (11). An image reconstruction unit (IRU) provides a reconstructed ultrasound image (RUI) corresponding to the imaging field (B1. K). A position determination unit (PDU) receives an input indicative of a type (T1. N) of a beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (13) currently connected to an ultrasound imaging system (14). Theposition determination unit (PDU) also calculates a position (LAPTOFSmax, theta IPA) of the ultrasound transducer (15) with respect to the imaging field (B1. K). Calculating the location (LAPTOFSmax,theta IPA) includes select
