Conventional freehand ultrasound (US) imaging is highly dependent on the skill of the operator, leading to inconsistent results and increased physical burden on sonographers. Robotic Ultrasound Systems (RUSS) aim to address these limitations by providing standardized and automated imaging solutions,
3D point clouds enhanced the robot’s ability to perceive the geometrical information of the environments, making it possible for many downstream tasks such as grasp pose detection and scene understanding. The performance of these tasks, though, heavily relies on the quality of data input, as incompl…
Thermal ablation therapy is a major minimally invasive treatment. One of the challenges is that the targeted region and therapeutic progression are often invisible to clinicians, requiring feedback provided in numerical information or imaging. Several emerging imaging modalities offer visualization…
Conventional manual ultrasound (US) imaging is a physically demanding procedure for sonographers. A robotic US system (RUSS) has the potential to overcome this limitation by automating and standardizing the imaging procedure. It also extends ultrasound accessibility in resource-limited environments
With the advancement in computing and robotics, it is necessary to develop fluent and intuitive methods for inter-acting with digital systems, augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) interfaces, and physical robotic systems. Hand movement recognition is widely used to enable such interaction. Hand configu…
Under the ceaseless global COVID-19 pandemic, lung ultrasound (LUS) is the emerging way for effective diagnosis and severeness evaluation of respiratory diseases. However, close physical contact is unavoidable in conventional clinical ultrasound, increasing the infection risk for health-care workers
Novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic of epic proportions, and global response to prepare health systems worldwide is of utmost importance. 2-dimensional (2D) lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a rapid, noninvasive imaging tool for diagnosing COVID-
