The purpose of this report is to propose portable and attachable tele-echography robot system: FASTele. Focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) is important for patients who have shock by internal bleeding. However, the patient has little time, and transportation to a hospital may take too long. A system which enables FAST more quickly is required. Therefore, we aim to develop a tele-echography...
This work focuses on an infant deafness detector unit, using the concept of microphone array. This instrument is based on the principle of evoked acoustic emissions (OAEs). The key feature of the microphone array is its ability to increase signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reproducibility of the OAE responses. These further significantly contribute to improve the sensitivity and specificity of the overall...
Navigated ultrasound (US) imaging is used for the intra-operative acquisition of 3D image data during image-guided surgery. The presented approach includes the design of a compact and easy to use US calibration device and its integration into a software application for navigated liver surgery. User interaction during the calibration process is minimized through automatic detection of the calibration...
This paper reports on the coupling of ultrasonically guided cardiac probes with wireless transmission of cardiac action potentials for applications in monitoring the 3D electrical onset of ventricular fibrillation. An application specific integrated circuit has been designed with a 40 dB amplifying stage and a frequency modulating oscillator to wirelessly transmit the recorded action potentials. Combined...
In this paper we report our preliminary results of the development of a computer assisted system for breast biopsy. The system is based on tracked ultrasound images of the breast. A three dimensional ultrasound volume is constructed from a set of tracked B-scan images acquired with a calibrated probe. The system has been designed to assist a radiologist during breast biopsy, and also as a training...
Modern ultrasound imaging instrumentation for clinical applications allows real-time volumetric scanning of the patients' body. 4D imaging has been made possible thanks to the development of new echographic probes which consist in 2D phased arrays of piezoelectric transducers. In these new devices it is the system electronics which properly drives the matrix elements and focuses the beam in order...
