Assistive and Autonomous Breast Ultrasound Screening: Improving PPV and Reducing RSI

Abstract

This report describes the second year of research activity on technologies that support sonographer-supervised robotic systems for breast ultrasound imaging with quantitative elastography and shear-wave elastography. Major objectives achieved in this period include controller and estimator development and experimental validation of robotically assisted strain elastography. Ultrasound pulse sequence development and verification continued in this period, with the development and test of non-linear shear modulus imaging codes and phantom validation.
