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

Abstract

This report describes the fourth year of research activities on technologies that support sonographer-supervised robotic systems for breast ultrasound imaging with qualitative elastography, quantitative elastography, and shear-wave elastography. Major objectives achieved in this period include progress toward stochastic mapping techniques for quantitative compressional elastography and combined quasi-static and shear wave elastography for viscoelastic and nonlinear parameter mapping.
