Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

7.3K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

1.3K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Robotics in Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Traditional ultrasound (US) suffers from operator dependency and variability.
    • Robotic Ultrasound Systems (RUSS) aim to overcome these limitations in medical imaging.
    • A significant gap exists between RUSS technological advancements and clinical implementation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical applications and engineering progress of RUSS.
    • To identify key barriers hindering the clinical translation of RUSS.
    • To analyze the current state-of-the-art RUSS technologies and their functional capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of RUSS research and clinical applications.
    • Categorization of RUSS technologies by organ-specific applications.
    • Analysis of engineering innovations and technical challenges in RUSS development.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal US is common clinically, but vascular RUSS dominates research.
    • A misalignment exists between RUSS research focus (autonomous scanning) and clinical needs (diagnosis).
    • Current RUSS development prioritizes imaging over downstream diagnostic tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the research-practice gap is crucial for RUSS clinical adoption.
    • Future RUSS development should focus on clinical tasks beyond autonomous scanning.
    • Collaboration between engineers and clinicians is essential for advancing RUSS translation.
