3D ultrasound reconstruction is able to improve the understanding of physicians to the scanned anatomy. But the recent technologies are very expensive and required many small details to build the system, as well as not compatible among the system of various competitors. Thus, this paper proposes how game controller as position tracking sensors and the pixel nearest neighbour method for the marching cubes volume visualization algorithm can be used in getting an accurate 3D ultrasound reconstruction image. A research methodology framework is designed, which consists of three main activities, which are experimental setup and data collection, volume reconstruction as well as 3D visualization. The result of this research aims to create a low-cost but highly effective and portable 3D ultrasound reconstruction system, which can assist the physicians during diagnostic, treatment as well as surgical guidance.
