Towards Comprehensive, Dynamic Shoulder Mosaicking Using Multiple Distributed 3D Ultrasound Transducers

Year: 2025

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Ultrasound can safely capture 3D images of the internal anatomy in real-time but is limited by its narrow field of view and reliance on skilled operators. This research developed a panorama algorithm that combines multiple ultrasound scans from various directions to generate a single clinical 3D ultrasound scan of the entire patient's shoulder. It also demonstrated that we could measure large anatomical distances and track bony surfaces in this view. This work lays the foundation for wearable ultrasound systems that could one day offer real-time 3D imaging of the entire body without needing large, harmful, expensive machines.
