Auxiliary Equipment for Breast Cancer Screening Using a Cordless ProbeVerification of Operation of Probe Scanning Control System

Abstract

　Early detection is effective for breast cancer. However, in the present breast cancer examination, the examination accuracy depends on the skill of the medical technologist. Therefore, in this study, we will develop an auxiliary device for breast examination in order to obtain ultrasound images with clear tumor size and location. This paper describes a position control system with force control. Control of position and force prevents unnecessary loading during scanning. The operation verification result of the constructed control system is also described.
