Abstract
We have developed a measuring system to visualize a complete cross-sectional image of human extremities using ultrasonography. Several ultrasound probes measure fragmentary graphical images of one cross-sectional plane, and these images are transformed together. In order to confirm availability of the developed system, we conducted the experiments. It is concluded that the developed system, in many respects, is superior to other imaging devices, because it is portable, safe, and inexpensive. These advantages can be expanded in the field survey. This paper discusses the system structure and the results of the experiments.
