Detailed Description

template<class TImageGeometricModel>
class igstk::UltrasoundImageSimulator< TImageGeometricModel >

This class simulates an ultrasound image by extracting a slice from a 3D MR or CT image.

Since most ultrasound systems provide images via a live feed, it is difficult to test Ultrasound applications offline. This class is intended to provide a simulation of Ultrasound images by reading a CT or MR image and extracting an slice from it.

Warning: This class should ONLY be used for testing purposes, and not as part of a final application.
