Abstract:

Introduction: Imaging is a very important procedure in many medical and engineering disciplines. It provides a non-destructive method of examination and exploring the interior anatomy and internal structure architecture of a certain domain. In medicine, different imaging modalities are available and many of them share the same concept, although having different processes to achieve it.

Aim of the study: to validate reconstruction of ultrasound images (derived from video format) could yield same results as in case of CT scan (directly constructed from DICOM data).
Materials and methods: A wooden model were used to obtain images using ultrasound and computerized tomography (CT), these images were processed to produce a 3 dimensional model.
Results: initial results show that the capability of synthesis data from ultrasound imaging modality in a fashion similar to that performed routinely with CT scan data
Conclusion: ultrasound imaging is a very popular modality that could be used to compensate the shortcomings of other modalities
