Tokyo, Aug. 21 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062638) titled 'Semi-automated robotic abdominal ultrasound imaging' 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 operator is required to manipulate the ultrasound probe while maintaining an unnatural posture for extended periods, numerous cases of musculoskeletal disorders have been reported, resulting in a high prevalence rate. To address these challenges, we have developed a robotic system that performs ultrasound examinations in place of the operator. In this study, we aim to verify the effectiveness of the control method we developed for a shadow-avoidance robotic arm, focusing on subcostal scanning of the right side, which is used to examine the gallbladder, liver, and kidneys. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Robot-Assisted Abdominal Ultrasound Imaging
