 Visual Computing in Ultrasonography

Medical ultrasound is in the recent years experiencing a rapid development in the quality of real-time 3D ultrasound imaging. Image quality of the 3D volume that was previously possible to achieve within the range of few seconds is now possible to achieve in a fraction of a second. This technological advance offers entirely new opportunities for the use of ultrasound in clinics. In my talk, I will discuss several enabling visual computing technologies such as image registration, filtering, segmentation, and visualization, developed in the course of the research project that together give the ultrasound new potential for the use in clinical environment.
