ABSTRACT:
A scanning aid is provided for aiding the user in obtaining 3D image data of a patient for rendering in a quantified 3D ultrasonic image. The scanning aid of the present invention relates the location of each piece of image data in three dimensional space to the physiology of the patient by relating the scanhead and its image planes to the patient. The scanning aid of the present invention provides the user with the ability to manually control the movement of the scanhead; the ability to obtain uniformly angularly spaced image planes regardless of the speed or variance in the motion of the scanhead; and the ability to obtain a repeatably fixed relationship between the scanhead and the scanning aid to assure the spatial precision of the acquired image data and to aid the user in repeatedly obtaining the same three dimensional ultrasonic images.
