ABSTRACT:
A method of tracking the position and orientation of an ultrasound beam emitted from an ultrasound probe. The method includes the steps of storing a model of the visible object in a memory of an optical tracking system; calculating the position and orientation of the visible object; and calculating the position and orientation of the ultrasound beam by applying a known geometric relationship to the deduced position and orientation of the visible object.
