Data and Image Analysis - Ultrasound Image Data Use

Data interpretation is an important step in visualizing any form of measured data. The Center has been exploring two widely used forms of medical imaging, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Ultrasound Image Data Use. The Center is applying its new real-time, stereoscopic, video-see-through augmented-reality system to ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, a medical procedure. The system combines properly registered live ultrasound data with views of the patient in a head-mounted-display (HMD). Trial experiments with physician collaborators are underway.
