Augmented reality (AR) in ultrasound image guided able to improve the understanding of medical personnel to the scanned anatomy. The issues in ultrasound image-guided are the operator needs to mentally transforming a series of 2D ultrasound images to become 3D object in real environment. The current 3D ultrasound machines are expensive and bulky. Therefore, this paper proposes to investigate and solve the ultrasound image position in 3D environment of AR using hybrid tracking method and game controller. This project involves five phases. The first is to investigate and analyze the issues in implementing the orientation ultrasound images in AR environment. The second phase is to propose and design AR system using hybrid tracking technique in order to overcome the problems in matching ultrasound images orientation on baby phantom in AR environment. Finally, the proposed hybrid tracking technique of AR on the output generated from the algorithm are evaluated. The aim of this project is to match the position of ultrasound image on baby phantom using hybrid tracking method.
