摘要：
Guidance and visualization for three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging is provided. Anatomical B-mode images and live three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound images (3D-DCE-US) of an anatomical region of interest are acquired. An ultrasound imaging probe tracker tracks six degrees of freedom position and orientation data of the ultrasound imaging probe. With reference to the common three-dimensional coordinate frame, and for each of the acquired images, the anatomical B-mode images, the live 3D-DCE-US images, and a three-dimensional computer-generated model are visualized and overlaid with each other. The visualization provides guidance and feedback to a user of the ultrasound imaging probe during three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging.
