Popis: In this study we investigate the use of an A-Mode ultrasound probe tracked by a mechanical localizer system (MicroScribe 3D) for non-invasive transcutaneous palpation and registration of bone surface points. A CT of a femur-model has been scanned and subsequently processed by segmentation and 3D-reconstruction. During the ultrasound registration, a computer based assistance tool helped guiding the alignment of the ultrasound probe. Three different modes of registration have been compared. Process times for registration have been recorded and compared. The results for using an A-Mode ultrasound system demonstrate a translation RMS accuracy of 0.58 mm. Mean ultrasound registration time has been measured to 108 sec. for palpation of 10 bone surface points of distal part of femur.
