| The Technical Principle |
›ScanNT‹
is the result of several years of research at the Fraunhofer Institut
for graphical applications. Let us introduce you to the simple but
very efficient principle of the ScanNT systems.

The video output of the conventional
ultrasound device is connected with the frame grabber card in the
PC. During data acquisition all B-scan images visible on the monitor
of the ultrasound device are digitised by the frame grabber and stored
in the main memory. Simultaneously the spatial position and orientation
of the ultrasound transducer is acquired by a tracking device attached
to the probe. |

This tracking device has the size and weight
of a sugar cube and does not influence in any way the movement of
the transducer, the freedom or the usual working procedure of the
physician. |

|
The digitised sequence of images together
with their position and orientation is converted to a volume data
set and visualised using manifold 3D visualisation modes. |

With the MedCom system any conventional ultrasound
device can be upgraded to a tomographic system with full 3D acquisition
and visualisation capabilities. |
| |
The ScanNT system offers all
necessary components including installation and training of the personal
for a very attractive price.
