Echography(Ultrasonography) is a diagnostic imaging method to visualize a cross section of organ and bloodstream simply by holding an instrument called ultrasonic probe against a body. Thus, the method has been used for observing various organs due to its convenience. However, obtaining good echogram requires a training since it takes an image as grasping a positional location between a location/shape of organ and an image of cross section.
In such a background, we have been conducting research & development for a system to visualize a location/angle of cross section at the time of image photography by a skilled doctor or a location/angle of cross section for a currently-operating probe by AR technology respectively, then also examined the usefulness as a support tool for image photography [1, 2].
