Biopsy Needle Localization and Tracking Using ROI-RK Method by Yue Zhao, Adeline Bernard, Christian Cachard, Hervé Liebgott

“…Previous research work has proved that it has a robust performance on different series of simulated 3D US volumes. Unfortunately, in real situations, because of the strong speckle noise of the ultrasound image and the different echogenic properties of the tissues, the real 3D US volumes have more complex background than the simulated images used previously. …”
