PhD defense by Pierre Chatelain
Quality-Driven Control of a Robotized Ultrasound Probe
Joint Ph.D. thesis between Université de Rennes 1 and Technische Universität München by Pierre Chatelain. The defense was held on December 12 at IRISA / Inria Rennes / Université de Rennes 1Abstract
This thesis deals with the control of image quality for a robot-held ultrasound probe. The ultrasound signal quality within the image is represented by a confidence map, which is used to design a servo control law for optimizing the placement of the ultrasound probe.A control fusion is also proposed to optimize the acoustic window for a specific anatomical target tracked in the ultrasound images. These methods are illustrated via experiments on phantom and on a human volunteer.
