Respiratory motion compensation for 3-D freehand echocardiography.
Motion of the diaphragm during respiration causes a displacement of the heart relative to the position of a transthoracic ultrasound (US) probe. These respiration-induced shifts of cardiac position can lead to spatial misalignments of data when reconstructed in 3-D. We show how to compensate for thi...
