Ultrasound Imaging System for Generation of a Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Image

Abstract: an ultrasound imaging system configured to generate a three-dimensional (3d) ultrasound image of a target area. the ultrasound imaging system includes a console including one or more processors and non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon one or more logic modules, and an ultrasound probe configured to acquire a plurality of ultrasound images of a target area. the ultrasound probe can be coupled to the console by an ultrasound probe connector having optical fiber including one or more core fibers. the console is configured to generate the 3d ultrasound image by stitching together the plurality of ultrasound images, starting from a point of reference. the point of reference can be the ultrasound probe, one or more anatomical targets, an elongate medical device, a reference magnet, or one or more accelerometers.
