An Automatic 3-D Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Combined Imaging System for Human Inflammatory Arthritis

An Automatic 3-D Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Combined Imaging System for Human Inflammatory Arthritis

Aiming at a point-of-care device for rheumatology clinics, we developed an automatic 3-D imaging system combining the emerging photoacoustic (PA) imaging with conventional Doppler ultrasound (US) for detecting human inflammatory arthritis. This system is based on a commercial-grade GE HealthCare (GE...

Zusammenfassung:Aiming at a point-of-care device for rheumatology clinics, we developed an automatic 3-D imaging system combining the emerging photoacoustic (PA) imaging with conventional Doppler ultrasound (US) for detecting human inflammatory arthritis. This system is based on a commercial-grade GE HealthCare (GEHC, Chicago, IL, USA) Vivid E95 US machine and a Universal Robot UR3 robotic arm. This system automatically locates the patient's finger joints from a photograph taken by an overhead camera powered by an automatic hand joint identification method, followed by the robotic arm moving the imaging probe to the targeted joint to scan and obtain 3-D PA and Doppler US images. The GEHC US machine was modified to enable high-speed, high-resolution PA imaging while maintaining the features available on the system. The commercial-grade image quality and the high sensitivity in detecting inflammation in peripheral joints via PA technology hold great potential to significantly benefit clinical care of inflammatory arthritis in a novel way
