Interventional real-time ultrasound imaging with an integrated electromagnetic field generator
Ultrasound (US) guided procedures are frequently performed for diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. However, there are safety and procedure duration limitations in US-guided interventions due to poor image quality and inadequate visibility of medical instruments in the field of view. To address this issue, we propose an interventional imaging system based on a mobile electromagnetic (EM) field generator (FG) attached to a US probe.
