Problems solved by technology

In addition, as for the recorded images, only the images selected by the operator are recorded, so it may be difficult for a doctor who does not operate to observe the case objectively only from the recorded images.
In addition, depending on the hospital, it may be difficult to secure doctors and technicians with prescribed skills in a stable manner.
[0008] In addition, since the probe is manually moved on the surface of the body, it is difficult to always move

Embodiment Construction

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

[0034] (the entire surface and constitution)

[0035] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a schematic basic configuration of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 includes at least an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body 200 (hereinafter simply referred to as an apparatus main body 200 ), an ultrasonic probe 120 , a robot arm 110 , and a robot arm control unit 140 .

[0036] The robot arm 110 holds the ultrasonic probe 120 at its distal end, for example, and can move the ultrasonic probe 120 with six degrees of freedom in accordance with a control signal from the robot arm control unit 140 . Being able to move with 6 degrees of freedom means, for example, that it can be moved in three direction components (X, Y, Z) in the mutually orthogonal X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction, around th...

Abstract

In one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe; a robot arm configured to support the ultrasonic probe and move the ultrasonic probe along a body surface of an object; memory circuitry configured to store trace instruction information used by the robot arm for moving the ultrasonic probe; and control circuitry configured to drive the robot arm in such a manner that the robot arm moves the ultrasonic probe according to the trace instruction information.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an ultrasonic diagnosis device and an ultrasonic diagnosis support device. Background technique [0002] The ultrasonic diagnostic device radiates the ultrasonic pulse and ultrasonic continuous wave generated from the vibrating element built in the ultrasonic probe into the subject, and converts the ultrasonic reflection caused by the difference in the acoustic impedance of the subject tissue through the vibrating element into an electric current. A signal, a device to collect information in a subject in a non-invasive manner. Medical examinations using ultrasonic diagnostic devices are widely used for morphological diagnosis and functional diagnosis of organs because they can easily collect various moving image data and real-time image data by touching an ultrasonic probe to a body surface. [0003] Also known are 3D ultrasonic diagnostic devices equipped with 4D probes or two-dimensional array probes th...
