Tokyo, Aug. 21 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062639) titled 'Automation of Abdominal Ultrasound Examinations' on Aug. 21.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Self control

Primary Sponsor: Institute - National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology

Condition: Condition - Healthy adult Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - Abdominal ultrasound examinations are performed to screen for lifestyle-related diseases; however, because the examiner is required to manipulate the ultrasound probe while maintaining an unnatural posture for extended periods, this practice can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and a decline in quality of life - as noted in the Japan Society of Ultrasound in Medicine's recommendation document, which has become a significant issue. Therefore, to address these challenges, we have developed a robotic system that performs ultrasound imaging in place of the examiner. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the abdominal aorta can be visualized using the scan path estimation method we developed. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Robot-Assisted Ultrasound Imaging of the Midline of the Abdomen
