VOLUSVolumetric Ultrasound for Medical
Applications

• VOLUS System Highlights
• Portable 3D ultrasound freehand device based on a
  portable B-Scanner
• Fully reconstructed 3D data
• Robust and close to real-time performance using
  off-the-shelf components
• Optimal balance between predefined quality
  factors spatial resolution, depth resolution,
  work volume and time.

• VOLUS Goals
• Development of techniques to provide new types of
  information from 3D ultrasound data, include
  registration, rendering and processing of
  ultrasound images, obtained by a freehand
  ultrasound system.
• The application use echocardiography images to
  allow study left ventricular segment motility.

• VOLUS Advantages
• Visualization of the heart at any angle with only
  one acquisition sequence.
• Improve cardiologists diagnostic accuracy.
• Ultrasound is the fastest, less expensive and
  least invasive method for imaging the heart,
  contrarily a variety of techniques such as CT,
  MRI and SPECT.
