Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for localizing an ultrasound imaging transducer. The ultrasound imaging transducer is operated in a first resonant mode to transmit an ultrasound imaging signal. Image data is generated based on this transmitted ultrasound imaging signal. The ultrasound imaging transducer is also operated in a second resonant mode to transmit or receive an ultrasound positioning signal. The position of the imaging transducer can then be determined based on the transmitted or received ultrasound positioning signal.
