摘要:
A system for ultrasound scanning includes an ultrasound transducer assembly configured to generate ultrasound scan data indicative of surface features of bony anatomy. The system includes a deformable cuff that transmits ultrasound when filled with an ultrasound-conductive medium. The system also includes a transference mechanism configured to move the ultrasound transducer assembly relative to the deformable cuff along a path while maintaining contact between the ultrasound transducer assembly and the cuff. The transference mechanism is also configured to generate position data indicative of different positions of the ultrasound transducer assembly along the path.
