摘要	This study investigates a force-controlled auxiliary device for freehand ultrasound (US) examinations. The designed device allows sonographers to maintain a steady target pressure on the US probe, thereby improving the US image quality and reproducibility. The use of a screw motor to power the device and a Raspberry Pi as the system controller results in a lightweight and portable device, while a screen enhances user-interactivity. Using gravity compensation, error compensation, an adaptive proportional-integral-derivative algorithm, and low-pass signal filtering, the designed device provides highly accurate force control. Several experiments using the developed device, including clinical trials relating to the jugular and superficial femoral veins, validate its utility in ensuring the desired pressure in response to varying environments and prolonged US examinations, enabling low or high pressures to be maintained and lowering the threshold of clinical experience. Moreover, the experimental results show that the designed device effectively relieves the stress on the sonographer's hand joints during US examinations and enables rapid assessment of the tissue elasticity characteristics. With automatic pressure tracking between probe and patient, the proposed device offers potentially significant benefits for the reproducibility and stability of US images and the health of sonographers. © 1986-2012 IEEE.
