An ultrasound device such as a 3D ultrasound probe (22) provides 3D imaging data to the processor (20). A reference device (24) is fixed to the probe (22), and has probe position markers (26). The reference device (24) is fixed to the probe (22), and has probe position markers (26). The markers (16, 26) are tracked using infrared (IR) camera system (28) which is connected to processor (20), that can covert the ultrasound data into data relative to the frame of reference of the device (14). The display (30) shows images combining the ultrasound data from probe (22), and imaging data from imaging subsystem (18).

Un dispositif à ultrasons, tel qu'une sonde à ultrasons tridimensionnelle (22) transmet des données d'imagerie tridimensionnelle à un processeur (20). Un dispositif de référence (24) est fixé à la sonde (22) et possède des repères (26) de position de sonde. Ce dispositif de référence (24) est fixé à la sonde (22) et possède des repères (26) de position de sonde. On suit ces repères (16)(26) au moyen d'un système de caméra infrarouge (IR) (28) relié au processeur (20) et pouvant convertir les données d'ultrasons en données relatives à la trame de référence du dispositif (14). L'écran (30) montre des images combinant les données d'ultrasons produites par la sonde (22) et les données d'imagerie produites par le sous-système d'imagerie (18).
