Looking beyond the imaging plane: 3D needle tracking with a linear array ultrasound probe

Abstract Ultrasound is well suited for guiding many minimally invasive procedures, but its use is often precluded by the poor visibility of medical devices. When devices are not visible, they can damage critical structures, with life-threatening complications. Here, we developed the first ultrasound...
