Atomic Force Microscopy

3.4K
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Real-time ultrasound probe movement and contact force data are crucial for enhancing medical professional skills.
    • Current methods for tracking probe motion can be expensive or interfere with the user experience.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an affordable, marker-free technique for estimating ultrasound probe position and orientation.
    • To integrate contact force measurement into the ultrasound probe handle.
    • To provide a system for monitoring and improving ultrasound training.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an RGB-depth camera and the MediaPipe Hands framework to capture hand gestures for probe motion estimation.
    • Designed and 3D printed a custom handle to house a three-axis force sensor for contact force measurement.
    • Experimentally evaluated tracking accuracy using an XYZ plate and tilt plate at various camera angles.

    Main Results:

    • The marker-free system accurately estimated ultrasound probe position and orientation.
    • Maximum errors in tracking were less than 7.5 mm for position and 10 degrees for orientation.
    • The custom handle facilitated easy integration of a force sensor without modifying the ultrasound probe.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed technique offers an affordable and non-intrusive solution for real-time ultrasound probe tracking and force measurement.
    • This system can serve as a valuable tool for objective assessment and guidance in ultrasound training programs.
