User-interactive registration of bone with A-mode ultrasound.

User-interactive registration of bone with A-mode ultrasound.

In this study, we investigated a registration technique based on a mechanically tracked A-mode ultrasound pointer for transcutaneous A-mode ultrasound pointer for transcutaneous, noninvasive palpation of bone surface. The principle has been exemplified for distal femur registration in total hip repl...
