Flexible ultrasound transducer KU Leuven
The present invention relates to an actual shape (1031, 1041) estimation method for a flexible ultrasound device and to an ultrasound imaging system comprising an actual shape (1031, 1041) estimation module, wherein the module, when executed, performs the steps of the method, i.e. determining a series of shape metrics based on a predetermined series of assumed shapes (1032, 1033, 1034, 1042) of the flexible ultrasound device, and selecting 0an optimal shape metric, corresponding with the smallest or largest shape metric –depending on how the shape metric is defined, of the determined series ...
