Autonomous robotic ultrasound scanning system: a key to enhancing image analysis reproducibility and observer consistency in ultrasound imaging
In this paper, an autonomous robotic ultrasound scanning system (auto-RUSS) pipeline was proposed. Through comprehensive human-machine comparison experiments, the auto-RUSS was shown to effectively improve the reproducibility of ultrasound images and minimize human-induced variability.
