Abstract
A method for local 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from 2-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images includes deriving a 2D image of an object; defining a target region within said 2D image; defining a volume scan period; during the volume scan period, deriving further 2D images of the target region and storing respective pose information for the further 2D images; and reconstructing a 3D image representation for the target region by utilizing the 2D images and the respective pose information.
