Published in 2017 at "International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery"

DOI: 10.1007/s11548-017-1561-1

Abstract: PurposeWe present the evaluation of the reproducibility of measurements performed using robotic ultrasound imaging in comparison with expert-operated sonography. Robotic imaging for interventional procedures may be a valuable contribution, but requires reproducibility for its acceptance… read more here.
