Evaluation of fused/stitched 3D-volume ultrasound data-sets in healthy volunteers and patients with chronic liver diseases K76.9
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Healthy volunteers will undergo a conventional ultrasound examination. Subsequently several 3D-ultrasound-volumes are generated and will then be fused side-by-side. Afterwards the quality and
