| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We designed and constructed an ultrasound robot that can be assembled and disassembled for home use. The tip of the probe can be driven with six degrees of freedom. Also, by changing the link length, an appropriate work space according to the measurement site can be obtained. Next, the calibration method using original phantom was proposed, and the effectiveness of the method was confirmed. In addition, for vessel search, we proposed a search method that combines linear movement and rotation with arranging probes in a T shape, and its effectiveness was confirmed. Furthermore, we proposed a method of blood flow evaluation that associated with brachial artery avascularization and release, and showed the possibility that the vascular stiffness can be appropriately evaluated by the proposed method.
