Abstract
A method of performing ultrasound motion tracking of a urethra or other pelvic floor structure includes obtaining a plurality of ultrasound images of a urethra or pelvic floor structure, identifying a reference element in the plurality of ultrasound images, and determining one or more regions of interest in the first ultrasound image including a portion of the urethra. A processor determines first and second positions, relative to the reference element, of the regions of interest in the plurality of ultrasound images. The processor further determines a change in position of the urethra from the first and second positions of the regions of interest. The processor may further determine orientations, opening, closing, or other movement of the urethra from the first and second positions of the regions of interest.
