Figure 4.
The average of the position difference recorded between the ultrasound system and the optical tracking system (y-axis, ultrasound tracking error) at different motion phases (x-axis). The error bar is the deviation of the position difference between the 2 systems when the phantom goes through different phases of the sine wave and when the phantom has different speeds. (A) Beam-off versus beam-on, (B) good image quality versus poor image quality, (C) axial (superior–inferior) versus lateral (left–right), and (D) high frequency (10-second period) versus low frequency (20-second period).
