Study of a 6DOF robot assisted ultrasound scanning system and its simulated control handle

摘要

Ultrasound scanning is a commonly used diagnostic method in hospital because of its' high efficiency and limited side effects. In this paper, a robot assisted ultrasound scanning system was developed to help doctors do the remote diagnosis. Doctor could control the ultrasound probe through the Internet from a remote place and receive the ultrasound image in real time. Simultaneously, the robot system does not need to change the doctors' habits for the ultrasound diagnosis and it could be used by doctors quickly.
