摘要：
Quantitative measurement of parameters pertaining to scan technique, such as applied force and transducer angulation, is used to identify ultrasound users at increased risk for injury. Usage patterns known to increase risk of injury can also be used to identify poor scanning techniques during a scan and provide in-scan feedback to an ultrasound user to change scanning behavior. Data regarding scan technique can be aggregated to determine the risk of injury to an individual ultrasound machine operator. This data may be used by ultrasound machine operators and ultrasound managers to prevent injury by pre-emptively correcting scan technique associated with injury.
