Quality and Safety Assessments of 5G-Powered Telerobotic Ultrasound System for Multi-Organ Screening: A Prospective Pilot Study
Purpose
This study aims to assess the ability of a 5G-based telerobotic system to generate required images of diagnostic quality in multi-organ US examinations.
Materials and Methods
This prospective study involved participants in Shenzhen and Tibet, which are 106 and 4000 km, respectively, from the tele-radiologist's hospital. Participants underwent telerobotic US examinations from September 2020 to March 2021. A total of 127 participants were enrolled. The required image quality was evaluated by the required image adequacy, image quality, the observer reliability and the consistency of the conventional US. The safety assessments were assessed by complications and questionnaires.
Results
A total of 1790/2032 (88.1%) required images were considered adequate, and 167/2032 (8.2%) were considered adequate with some reservations. The mean image quality score was 2.83 ± 0.47 on a three-point Likert scale and did not differ between the districts or sexes. Telerobotic US detected 15 out of 18 abnormalities (83.3%) in 10 patients who underwent both telerobotic US and conventional US. There was good consistency between the two methods (k = 0.7–1.0). Furthermore, nearly 86.0% of patients accepted and would be willing to undergo another telerobotic US examination in the future. Teleradiologists accepted almost all US examinations as adequate for diagnosis and were satisfied with them.
Conclusions
The 5G-based telerobotic US(MGIUS-R3) can acquire required images with adequacy and quality in multiple organ examination procedures, with high safety and customer satisfaction in this limited group of patients. Further studies with larger samples and more centres are needed to validate this potential new technology.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery provides a cross-disciplinary platform for presenting the latest developments in robotics and computer assisted technologies for medical applications. The journal publishes cutting-edge papers and expert reviews, complemented by commentaries, correspondence and conference highlights that stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas. Areas of interest include robotic surgery aids and systems, operative planning tools, medical imaging and visualisation, simulation and navigation, virtual reality, intuitive command and control systems, haptics and sensor technologies. In addition to research and surgical planning studies, the journal welcomes papers detailing clinical trials and applications of computer-assisted workflows and robotic systems in neurosurgery, urology, paediatric, orthopaedic, craniofacial, cardiovascular, thoraco-abdominal, musculoskeletal and visceral surgery. Articles providing critical analysis of clinical trials, assessment of the benefits and risks of the application of these technologies, commenting on ease of use, or addressing surgical education and training issues are also encouraged. The journal aims to foster a community that encompasses medical practitioners, researchers, and engineers and computer scientists developing robotic systems and computational tools in academic and commercial environments, with the intention of promoting and developing these exciting areas of medical technology.
