Abstract
The present application relates to an ultrasound fusion imaging method and an ultrasound fusion image navigation system. The ultrasound fusion imaging method includes a selection step, a registration step and a fusion step. The selection step is for selecting at least one ultrasound image from at least one previously stored piece of ultrasound video data according to an input instruction. The ultrasound video data includes an ultrasound image obtained by acquiring a target object in at least one plane and position indicating information corresponding to the ultrasound image. The registration step is for registering the selected at least one ultrasound image with a modality image. The registration process uses the location of the position indicating information of the at least one ultrasound image. The fusion step is for fusing the registered ultrasound image with the modality image.
