オフライン妊婦健診システムのための二走行画像に基づく胎児画像再構築手法の提案

抄録

We have been developing the ultrasonic diagnosis support robot for prenatal care. This robot can be controlled remotely. With this robot, a novel teleoperation prenatal care service called “offline prenatal care” is proposed. The offline prenatal care service reconstructs ultrasonic images acquired by the robot previously. The robot should scan the whole uterus automatically. To actualize the service, the automatic scanning method (two line scanning) and the fetus image reconstruction method are developed. In the experiment, the robot scanned a pregnant woman abdomen model by two line scanning and the specific ultrasonic image for prenatal care diagnosis (AC) was reconstructed from the scanned images in offline. It certified the proposed method's availability for the offline prenatal care.
