This paper focuses on the hardware development of an indoor ultrasound based robot localization system. The problems related to the ultrasound time of flight measurements are presented and solutions are proposed related to the hardware applied for measurements and measurement synchronization. Experimental measurements were performed to analyze the applicability of the developed system and measu...

Accuracy of live ultrasound measurements to evaluate the total tissue depth (GR), as well as fat and LM depths at different scanning sites, was studied in 96 purebred Suffolk and Dorset lambs of both sexes slaughtered between 36 and 54 kg of BW. Before slaughter, 7 real-time ultrasound measurements were taken on lambs: fat and LM depths between the 12th and 13th ribs (transverse) and between th...

conclusions it seems that there is no significant relationship between the side-lying endurance test and abdominal muscles thickness. patients and methods a convenience sample of 55 subjects, aged 20 - 30 years, participated in this study. endurance of abdominal muscles was measured using side-lying endurance test in all subjects. ultrasound thickness measurement for the transverses abdominis (...

AIM OF THE STUDY Information on central venous pressure (CVP) is helpful in clinical situations like cardiac failure and sepsis. Compression ultrasound (CU) of a forearm vein has been shown to be a reliable method for CVP measurement when assessed by experienced personal under study conditions. To test the hypothesis, that CU can be reliably used for CVP measurement after a training program and...

Abstract Aims: Scoliosis is one of the secondary complications in amputation veterans, which requires periodic evaluations. The gold standard for evaluating the spine is radiography, which has caused many concerns due to the very high doses of X-ray radiation. For this reason, therapists are finding for an alternative method for this tool, so ultrasound is a non-invasive tool with different me...

Three-dimensional (3D) acquisition and visualisation techniques are increasingly being incorporated into commercial ultrasound scanners. The diagnostic benefit of such techniques is not yet convincing, compared to the added inconvenience of using them. Although it is straightforward to use special probes to acquire 3D data, these are more restrictive than conventional 2D probes. The only 3D tec...
