[Tubetk-developers] Collecting testing data using our ultrasound image acquisition pipeline and abdominal phantom

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Andinet,

Excellent.  It will be great to have some good testing data for
algorithm development.  If you can record the pose of the ultrasound
transducer well enough relative to the CT acquisition, a "known truth"
will be very useful... i.e. what Danielle said before I hit Send ;-)

Thanks,
Matt
