Measurement and Potential Field-Based Patient Modeling for Model-Mediated Tele-ultrasound

  • 用点云构建患者表面模型,生成带势场值的体素化体积
  • 加入实测力数据后,力误差降低7.23N,方向误差减少9.37°
  • 适合远程医疗、力反馈系统研究者参考

远程操作超声可改善偏远地区医疗影像获取。准确的力反馈对超声医师控制探头压力以优化图像质量至关重要。但通信延迟使直接力反馈不现实。此前工作采用基于点云的模型中介遥操作与内部势场模型估算接触力和力矩。本文引入新方法,通过测量的位置与力数据更新患者内部势场模型,实现更透明的模型中介遥操作。首先生成患者表面点云,并以紧凑数据结构传送给操作者;转换为静态体素化体积,每个体素包含势场值,决定力和力矩,依据体素体积与探头点壳模型的重叠进行渲染。通过结合空间拉普拉斯算子与实测力的凸二次规划求解势场。在3名志愿者上评估,结果表明:相比仅使用拉普拉斯方程,加入实测力后,力幅值误差平均下降7.23N,力向量角度误差平均减少9.37°。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Teleoperated ultrasound can improve diagnostic medical imaging access for remote communities. Having accurate force feedback is important for enabling sonographers to apply the appropriate probe contact force to optimize ultrasound image quality. However, large time delays in communication make direct force feedback impractical. Prior work investigated using point cloud-based model-mediated teleoperation and internal potential field models to estimate contact forces and torques. We expand on this by introducing a method to update the internal potential field model of the patient with measured positions and forces for more transparent model-mediated tele-ultrasound. We first generate a point cloud model of the patient's surface and transmit this to the sonographer in a compact data structure. This is converted to a static voxelized volume where each voxel contains a potential field value. These values determine the forces and torques, which are rendered based on overlap between the voxelized volume and a point shell model of the ultrasound transducer. We solve for the potential field using a convex quadratic that combines the spatial Laplace operator with measured forces. This was evaluated on volunteer patients ($n=3$) by computing the accuracy of rendered forces. Results showed the addition of measured forces to the model reduced the force magnitude error by an average of 7.23 N and force vector angle error by an average of 9.37$^{\circ}$ compared to using only Laplace's equation.
