Medical Applications - Volumetric Measurement and Image Fusion

Volumetric Measurement and Image Fusion

Image fusion is a powerful ultrasound technique enabled in part by Ascension sensors. Tracking allows clinicians to view clear, crisp three-dimensional images of anatomical data as well as make volumetric measurements.

Ascension sensors enable real-time tracking of GE's LOGIC E9's ultrasound transducers. Fusion brings CT or MR images right to your ultrasound.
