An improved medical imaging system preferably includes an imaging device having a housing, an imaging transducer, and a position marker coupled near the imaging transducer. The system further includes a motor capable of driving the imaging transducer in a generally longitudinal direction relative to the housing. Data obtained from tracking the position marker may be cross- correlated with data obtained from the imaging transducer. In one aspect, the position marker may be a sensor capable of communicating with a medical positioning system.

L'invention porte sur un système amélioré d'imagerie médicale comportant de préférence un dispositif d'imagerie comprenant un boîtier, transducteur d'imagerie, et un marqueur de position voisin du transducteur d'imagerie. Le système comporte en outre un moteur entrainant le transducteur dans une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du boîtier. Les données obtenues en suivant le marqueur de position peuvent être l'objet d'une corrélation croisée avec celles du transducteur. Dans un cas, le marqueur de position peut être un détecteur pouvant communiquer avec un système médical de positionnement.
