Abstract

A percutaneous-point determination device for determining a location of a point associated with a surface of an animal organ. The device comprises an ultrasound device (3) configured to emit a focused ultrasound beam along an ultrasound beam axis having a known orientation with respect to the ultrasound device. The ultrasound device is configured to output ultrasound data indicative of a distance from the ultrasound device to the point. A position measurement device (4) is configured to output position data indicative of a location of the ultrasound device. The device includes a computer (5) configured to process the ultrasound data and position data to thereby determine a location of the point.
