Development of Auxiliary Equipment for Breast Screening to Eliminate Poor Contact

Abstract

　Ultrasonic screening for breast cancer tends to be affected by the skill of the examiner. In this study, we will develop an auxiliary device for breast examination for the purpose of acquiring ultrasound images with unclear tumor size and position. In this paper, we examined the design of auxiliary equipment and the control system. Moreover, the operation result on the breast phantom using the produced functional testing machine and the evaluation result of the system are shown.
