Usability and performance of a wearable tele-echography robot for focused assessment of trauma using sonography

Development of a control algorithm for the ultrasound scanning robot (NCCUSR) using ultrasound image and force feedback

“…The optimality of the image is judged by the RMSE value using SVM. The RMSE graph in each of the five regions shows higher values initially, and lower values in each region at the last instance (below 15). At this lower value, the SVM output is equal to +1, and the image is saved as the optimal image.…”

“… developed a parallelogram‐type robot that is equipped with various safety assuring systems and is based on image‐guided control, and Ito et al . implemented a wearable tele‐echography robot for focused assessment of trauma using sonography. This robot was constructed with the intention to be used in ambulance vehicles to scan and transmit images of various parts of the patient.…”

Medical telerobotic systems: current status and future trends

“…A wearable tele-echography 4 DOF robot for Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) was presented in [ 121 ] (Fig. 14 ).…”

“…The robot provides 4 DOF and control of the US probe for FAST. Reprinted with permission from [ 121 ] …”

Telesonography - the 5th dimension of ultrasound examination

“…Hence, all projects have increased the chance of participants in accessing quality healthcare by reducing effort and time. Some projects evaluated functional parameters such as image quality [24][25][26], the social, financial and "quality-of-life" impact, developing various solutions to the needs identified: training lay persons in obtaining quality images [27] or developing robotic arms that are remotely guided by an expert to obtain high quality ultrasound images [28][29][30].…”
