In the field of medical diagnosis, ultrasound examination has become one of the most widely used clinical methods due to its fast and convenient characteristics. Traditional ultrasound technology can present echo images of the human body to doctors. However, in orthopedic diagnosis, if real-time three-dimensional bone images of patients can be quickly obtained, the accuracy of disease condition judgment and the effectiveness of treatment plans will be greatly improved.
带着这样的目标,Verdure imaging 公司与加拿大金斯顿皇后大学展开深度合作,聚焦脊柱 3D 超声成像技术研究,借助 OptiTrack 技术,成功开辟了 3D 超声成像在脊柱诊断中的全新应用方向。
长久以来,超声波难以穿透骨骼且易在探测器处反弹,这使得利用超声直接重建 3D 骨骼图像成为医学领域的一大难题。In order to overcome this difficulty, the research team took a different approach and tried to upgrade 2D ultrasound images to accurate 3D rendered images through tracking technology. Through repeated exploration and practice, OptiTrack technology stands out and provides a perfect realization path for this idea.
Chris Schlenger, CEO of Verture imaging, lamented: During the exploration process, we tried many methods, but we never met expectations until the emergence of OptiTrack.
Verdure imaging 公司 CEO Chris Schlenger 感慨道:"在探索过程中,我们尝试了诸多方法,却始终未能达到预期,直到 OptiTrack 的出现。It is like an all-round positioning expert, who can easily meet the needs of wide or narrow viewing angles, large or small spaces, or active or passive tracking.& rdquo;Schlenger introduced the OptiTrack system into the 3D spinal ultrasound imaging project. With its submillimeter positioning accuracy, the system can accurately lock the bone position, and then complete three-dimensional reconstruction through image mosaic technology, integrating high-precision bone data into the ultrasound image in real time. Build a solid technical foundation for spinal ultrasound 3D imaging.
"OptiTrack 系统的处理速度堪称惊艳,每秒可处理超过 22 帧图像,能迅速对整帧图像进行分析,并在 3D 环境中完成精准重建,几乎实现了实时呈现!& rdquo;Schlenger praised. In practical applications, the OptiTrack system works closely with 2D ultrasound equipment. With the help of AI algorithms, the system can accurately identify the bone structure during the scanning process and transform the originally messy and blurred 2D ultrasound image into a clear three-dimensional 3D image of the spine. Even in areas that are difficult to identify in traditional 2D ultrasound images, AI can pull silk and peel off cocoons to restore the true bone structure.
The success of this experiment not only means that OptiTrack technology has a firm foothold in the field of 3D spinal ultrasound diagnosis, but also opens up a new imagination space in other medical imaging fields such as liver diagnosis, kidney evaluation, and arterial examination.
此次实验的成功,不仅意味着 OptiTrack 技术在 3D 脊柱超声诊断领域站稳脚跟,更为肝脏诊断、肾脏评估、动脉检查等其他医学成像领域打开了全新的想象空间。In addition, OptiTrack tracking imaging technology has a significant advantage of zero radiation. At a time when medical testing is increasingly concerned about radiation safety, this technology provides patients with safer testing options. If it can be widely used, it is expected to greatly reduce the risk of cancer caused by image testing and become a safety guard to protect patient health.
