  • Abstract
    The quality of ultrasound images highly depends on sonographer skills. This paper describes a platform for the reduction of operator dependency during transabdominal ultrasound examinations. The design includes a linear system to enable automatic transabdominal ultrasonography of the cervix. The system was integrated within APLIO MX SSA-780A TOSHIBA ultrasound machine. Results show operator independent ultrasonography within an area of 70 cm2. Our results enable panoramic ultrasound imaging up to 575 mm times 375 mm in the abdominal area.
