基于光学定位系统的超声探头标定方法

      A Method of Ultrasonic Probe Calibration Based on Optical Positioning System

      • 摘要: 在超声引导介入手术等应用中,为了利用三维定位系统对超声成像平面进行跟踪,需要对超声探头与超声图像的几何关系进行标定。为此,在传统的N线型模型基础上,设计了一个已知8个坐标点的模型,并结合NDI光学定位跟踪系统进行标定。该标定方法过程分为三步:首先将光学定位接收器绑定在超声探头上,当超声探头扫描模板时,超声图像上将依次显示已知8个坐标点的亮点;其次由光学定位跟踪系统能得到接收器到发射器的坐标变换,发射器到模型的坐标变换;最后以模板中已知点作为特征点,利用最小二乘法进行标定计算,得到光学定位接收器与超声图像的位姿关系矩阵,实现超声探头标定。实验证明该方法简单易行,标定精度为2.72 mm,满足超声引导的需求且比传统标定精度有所提高,为进一步三维重构了奠定基础。

         

        Abstract: In order to track the ultrasonic imaging plane using a 3D spatial tracking device in application such as ultrasound guided interventional operation, a transform between ultrasound probe and the ultrasound image has to be determined by calibration. Based on the N-phantom, we use a phantom that 8 points is known and NDI optical positioning system for calibration to do this. The calibration process divides into three steps:firstly getting 8 bright spots orderly in the ultrasound image when the phantom is scanned by the ultrasound probe with a receiver sensor; secondly using the NDI optical positioning system get the transform between receiver and transmitter coordinate, the transmitter and phantom coordinate; lastly realizing the calibration by extracting feature points of the image bright spots and deciding the position relation matrix according to least square method. It is proved that the calibration method is convenient to use, and the calibration precision is not only meet the demand of ultrasound guide and exceed to conventional approach and reach to 2.72 mm,laying a good foundation for further 3D reconstruction.
