Information and robot technology (IRT) is drawing increasing attention in the technologizing and digitalizing of medical professional skills. In fields such as manufacturing, high-precision tasks, not possible with human, skills have been already realized by industrial robots. The medical field thus expected to advance with progress in the development of medical robots able to provide diagnosis and therapy that are much more precise than those of conventional medical professionals.

We have been studying the technologizing and digitalizing skills of the medical professionals in the medical diagnostics and therapeutics. The concept of technologizing and digitalizing medical skills involves extracting functions in medical professional skills and reconstructing and implementing these extracted functions in the mechanisms, controllers, and image-processing algorithms of the medical support system. In this paper, we focus on the kidney stone extraction skills of medical professionals by utilizing robot vision technology, and discuss a methodology for technologizing and digitalizing medical diagnostic and therapeutic skills for a non-invasive ultrasound theragnostic system.

<div class=""abs_img""><img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00260006/04.jpg"" width=""250"" />IDAT for Hand-Eye COORD TRNG</div> This paper presents a novel arm-training system, known as the image-projecting desktop arm trainer (IDAT), which is aimed at hand-eye coordination training. The projector displays an exercise image on a desktop in front of a seated patient, and the scanning range finder measures the behavior of the patient as he/she performs the exercise. IDAT is non-invasive and does not constrain the patient. Its efficiency is based on the voluntary movements of the patient, although it offers neither the physical assistance nor tactile feedback of some conventional systems. Three kinds of training content have been developed: “mole-hitting,” “balloon-bursting,” and “fish-catching.” These games were designed for training hand-eye coordination in different directions. A patient and/or medical professional can set a suitable training level, that is, the training time, speed of movement of the objects, and number of objects to appear at any one time, based on the patient’s condition and ability. A questionnaire survey was carried out to evaluate IDAT-3, and the results showed that it was highly acclaimed in terms of user-friendliness, fun, and usefulness. </span>

Three Dimensional Images

We have developed a new X-ray microscope which produces complete three dimensional images of samples. The microscope operates by performing X-ray tomography with unprecedented resolution. Tomography is a non-invasive imaging technique that creates maps of the internal structure of samples from measurement of the attenuation of penetrating radiation. As conventionally practiced in medical Computed Tomography (CT), radiologists produce maps of bone and tissue structure in several planar sections that reveal features with 1mm resolution and 1% contrast. Microtomography extends the capability of CT in several ways. First, the resolution which approaches one micron, is one thousand times higher than that of the medical CT. Second, our approach acquires and analyses the data in a panoramic imaging format that directly produces three-dimensional maps in a series of contiguous stacked planes. Typical maps available today consist of three hundred planar sections each containing 512x512 pixels. Finally, and perhaps of most import scientifically, microtomography using a synchrotron X-ray source, allows us to generate maps of individual element.
