Abstract

Ultrasound Doppler imaging may be used to detect blood clots after surgery, a common problem. However, this requires consistent probe positioning over multiple time instances and therefore significant sonographic expertise. Analysis of ultrasound B-mode images of a fiducial implanted at the surgical site offers a landmark to guide a user to the same location repeatedly. We demonstrate that such an implanted fiducial may be successfully detected and tracked to calculate pose and guide a clinician consistently to the site of surgery, potentially reducing the ultrasound experience required for point of care monitoring.
