Résumé

L’échographie est une modalité d’imagerie très utile dans de nombreuses situations cliniques, dont la réalisation nécessite une compétence médicale spécifique, qui n’est pas toujours disponible. Nous décrivons les principes d’une architecture robotique originale grâce à laquelle le patient peut bénéficier de la télé-présence d’un expert médical distant. Nous discutons la mise en œuvre de cette architecture, et présentons les principes de sa validation clinique.

Abstract

Echography is an imaging modality that is very useful in many clinical situations. It requires specific medical skills, and such skills are not always available. We describe the principles of an original robotics architecture, which enables the patient to benefit from the tele-presence of a distant medical expert. We discuss how this architecture is operated, and present the principles of its clinical validation.
