Impedance controller and its clinical use of the remote ultrasound diagnostic system

چکیده
A master-slave type remote ultrasound diagnostic system was developed. This paper presents and evaluates its control strategy. There is only one impedance controller that is located in the master site or the slave site or the relay point in the conventional impedance controller. Therefore, the effect of the time lag in transmitting force and position data becomes large in the conventional system. Then we propose an impedance controller to cope with this problem. In the proposed system, the position controller for the slave manipulator is also constructed by means of a velocity-control-based impedance controller. This feature makes it possible to shorten the dead time taken by the slave manipulator to respond for the contact force input. This paper also reports the result of a clinical w e of the remote ultrasound diagnostic system. The result of the experiments demonstrates that a medical doctor can diagnose patients as well as the conventional diagnosis.

In this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. The majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. This requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of ultrasound for ovarian mature cystic teratoma and accordance of it with postoperative histopathologic findings
Background: Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is one of the most common benign ovarian tumors, which may be confused with other adnexal lesions due to its extensive manifestations on ultrasound. Therefore, in this study, we tried to reduce the need for pathology frozen sections by examining more accurate preoperative ultrasound results and classifying ovarian lesions based on them. Methods: ...
