Ultrasound Calibration for Dual-Armed Surgical Navigation System

Figure 4

The coordinate systems and the relationships between US image, arms, and the object (phantom). The transformations of US image to (), to (), and to standard stylus () were computed for the dual robotic arm positioning system guided by the ultrasound image. The target points in the coordinate system of US image and in the coordinate system of stylus should be aligned after transformation.
