The present invention provides a mounting assembly, for use with an ultrasound transducer attached to an ultrasound machine, for determining the spacial relationship between a succession of 2D image slices of a target of a subject, generated by the ultrasound machine. The mounting assembly comprises: (i) means to mount an ultrasound transducer; (ii) means to engage a surface of the subject in the proximity of the target, the means to engage a surface being moveably attached to the means to mount an ultrasound transducer; and (iii) sensing means, in communication with the means to engage a surface, to measure the movement of the means to engage a surface during acquisition of the succession of 2D image slices. Preferably, the sensing means comprises a tilt sensor and a displacement sensor.

L'invention concerne un ensemble de montage, pouvant être utilisé avec un transducteur ultrasonique attaché à une machine à ultrasons, qui permet de déterminer la relation spatiale entre une succession de coupes en deux dimensions d'une cible d'un sujet générées par ladite machine. L'ensemble de montage comprend: (i) un système pour fixer un transducteur ultrasonique; (ii) un système pour entrer en contact avec une surface d'un sujet à proximité de la cible, monté amovible sur le système pour fixer un transducteur ultrasonique; et (iii) un système de détection, en communication avec le système pour entrer en contact avec une surface, qui mesure le déplacement dudit système durant l'acquisition de la succession des coupes en deux dimensions. De préférence, le système de détection comprend un capteur d'inclinaison et un capteur de déplacement.
