Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for providing simultaneous viewing of an instrument in two ultrasound imaging planes. An ultrasound imaging probe is provided which can generate at least two ultrasound imaging planes. In one embodiment, the two imaging planes are not parallel (i.e., the planes intersect). An instrument path is positioned with respect to the planes such that an instrument may be simultaneously viewed in both imaging planes. In one embodiment, the instrument path is provided at an intersection that, at least partially, defines the intersection of the two imaging planes.
