Abstract

Robotic Ultrasound Systems are an emerging technology. Autonomous systems, which are not yet on the market, comprise detection of the scanning area, the ultrasound scan and image processing. However, contact gel application is performed manually. This work proposes a concept for an autonomous contact gel applicator to contribute to a full automation of robotic ultrasound scanning systems e.g. for 3D-imaging of the knee.

Keyphrases: automatic contact gel application, robotic ultrasound, ultrasound scanning automation
