Abstract:
A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium. The system includes an ultrasound transducer configured for coupling ultrasound incident waves into selected regions of an organic specimen and transferring resultant ultrasound data from specimen features for selected ultrasound incident waves to a processor, a location detection unit configured for detecting locations of the ultrasound transducer and organic specimen and for transferring that data to the processor, a memory module configured for storing anatomic model data for at least part of the organic specimen, the processor configured for identifying the region associated with the selected ultrasound data, creating an ultrasound image from that data, obtaining model extracted data from the anatomic model data corresponding to the selected ultrasound data region, creating a model image from the model extracted data, and transferring the ultrasound and model images to a display module, and the display module configured for displaying the ultrasound and model images.
