Researchers at IIT-Delhi and AIIMS have developed a Telerobotic Ultrasound System that allows remote ultrasound access through a robotic arm.
- The new system will allow doctors and radiologists to perform scans by maintaining stringent social distancing and not coming into contact with the patient.
- It will allow a better outreach of ultrasound imaging to remote rural areas of India.
- The radiologist manipulates the ultrasound probe remotely from a remote location, acquires the ultrasonographs, and then transmits them to the monitors at the doctor’s end through a Wi-Fi network
