Needle Localization in Ultrasound Images : FULL NEEDLE AXIS AND TIP LOCALIZATION IN ULTRASOUND IMAGES USING GPS DATA AND IMAGE PROCESSING

Many medical interventions involve ultrasound based imaging systems to safely localize and navigate instruments into the patient body. To facilitate visual tracking of the instruments, we investigate the techniques and methodologies best suited for solving the problem of needle localization in ultra...
