Abstract
A magnetic-based tracking system for tracking an ultrasound probe. The tracking system can create a three-dimensional visualization. The tracking system can include a reference device including a reference magnet and an ultrasound probe including an ultrasound acoustic transducer or acoustic array that acquires ultrasound images. The reference device can include a magnetometer that detects a magnetic field generated by the reference magnet. The ultrasound probe can couple a first ultrasound image with a first magnetic field strength, wherein both of the first ultrasound image is received and the first magnetic field strength is detected at a first time. The system can include a console including a processor and non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of processor executed logic modules that perform operations including receiving and recording a plurality of coupling of ultrasound images and detected magnetic field strengths to generate a 3D visualization from the ultrasound images.
