A new, non-invasive technique to track the motion of knee bones in 3D with a very high precision has been presented by researchers in Australia. By employing a single-element ultrasound sensor and a fast image registration technique, the team of collaborating researchers from University of New South Wales, University of Canberra and Canberra Hospital achieved sub-millimetre precision, which is essential for clinical applications such as artificial joint component design and diagnosis for ligament injuries.
