We propose a domestic tele-echography system between the patient's home and a hospital because of the increase in the number of patients by aging society and recent progress in portable echography. In previous researches three-dimensional position of the ultrasound probe was difficult to specify because a remote doctor observe the patient through a video camera. Therefore we have developed a reproduction system of the probe position using the AR (augmented reality) Toolkit and GUI interface developed by OpenGL. Only an USB camera and two markers for the body surface and the probe are necessary to memorize and transfer three-dimensional position of the probe. We have also designed a doctor side interface including echogram, patient scene and CG to navigate probe position. As the result of evaluation experiments, guided probe position was satisfied to reproduce the echogram for diagnosis. |
