N2 - Precisely and efficiently guiding medical needles to procedure targets is critically important in minimally invasive procedures. A reliable method for device guidance which is compatible with the current clinical workflow remains an ongoing challenge. In this study, a 3D ultrasonic needle tracking system was designed and developed. A broadband fiber-optic hydrophone integrated into a needle served as an ultrasonic tracker. A custom external ultrasound imaging probe was developed to allow for three-dimensional ultrasonic tracking. With high sensitivity, and sub-millimeter tracking accuracy observed, this system has strong potential to provide reliable device guidance for various minimally invasive procedures.
