摘要：
Systems and methods for providing ultrasound probe location and image information are provided. One system includes an ultrasound device coupled with an ultrasound probe and configured to acquire ultrasound images of a subject. The system further includes at least one of a plurality of digital cameras or a plurality of digital scanners configured to acquire scene information including images of the ultrasound probe with the subject during an image scan. The system also includes a processor having an ultrasound registration unit (URU) with the URU configured to identify and reference a probe location of the ultrasound probe to a surface of the object from the scene information and correlate the probe location to one or more of the acquired ultrasound images. The URU is additionally configured to generate a representation of the surface showing the identified and referenced probe location corresponding to the correlated ultrasound images.
