10511 The Robot System for Tele-Ultrasound Imaging Diagnosis

Abstract

Recently, achievement the tele-medicine is attracting attention. It is regarded to realize redness of regional gaps of medical treatment, reduction of patient's incidence, efficiency improvement of medical treatment etc. We are developing the robot system for tele-ultrasound imaging diagnosis. This system consists of the master-slave robot system in order to use probes of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment for telemedicine. This paper reports about a development of the master robot and remote control the slave robot. Moreover, it reports that the ultrasound imaging was acquired by a remote-controlled experiment through LAN.
