  • Patent number: 5562095
    Abstract: A 3-D ultrasound imaging system for the eye, prostate and other organs, comprising an assembly onto which an ultrasound probe may be mounted, a motor and drive for either rotating or scanning the probe relative to the human organ under investigation, and a computer for executing proprietary software for controlling movement of the assembly to rotate or scan the probe. Ultrasound signals from the probe are processed via a clinical ultrasound machine for generating multiple images of the organ. The proprietary software being executed on the computer collects the 2-D ultrasound images of the clinical ultrasound machine and reconstructs these images to form a 3-D display which can be viewed and manipulated in real time, or stored for later retrieval.
