Abstract
One of the medical issues of our country is increase of the burden of doctors per capita by aging society and localization of the physician. Diagnosis and treatment support system is necessary to reduce the doctor's load. In this paper, we constructed trajectory measurement system of ultrasound probe scanning for analysis of procedure in echography. First, probe position and posture for acquiring the basic cross-sectional imaging, the demand specification of a measurement system was determined. The measurement system which acquires a probe tip position and angle by ARToolKit with stereo matching and acquires the form of an arm by Kinect sensor was built. It became possible to trace on a body surface and to measure a scan trajectory by ARToolKit, and possible to measure the changes of physician's arm shapes by Kinect. We succeeded in visualization of trajectory measurement for ultrasound probe scanning.
