Sponsor's own description
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) among sonographers/radiographers are prevalent in the healthcare industry. This pilot study will evaluate the use of a robotic assisted ultrasonography system (ROBUST) against the conventional abdominal ultrasound scanning procedure. The ROBUST will be developed to provide 6 degrees of freedom to allow radiographers to perform abdominal scanning without having to reach over patients. 10 sonographers with at least 5 years of experience will be recruited from SGH and SKH, to perform abdominal ultrasound scans on healthy volunteers. Each sonographer will be randomly assigned to scan a volunteer using conventional abdominal ultrasound scanning procedure and with ROBUST respectively. The study will be done in 2 phases, separated by at least a 1-month interval between scans. Phase 1: Scanning of volunteer using conventional abdominal ultrasound scanning procedure. Phase 2: Scanning of volunteer using ROBUST. Outcome measures will include ultrasound image quality, sonographer feedback and comfort level as well as satisfaction feedback from healthy volunteers. A panel of 4 reviewers, consisting of 2 radiologists and 2 senior radiographers will be invited to grade the images, using a 3-point Likert scale. The duration of each scanning will be recorded. The comfort level reported by sonographers will be assessed using the SGH Comfort Level Survey. In addition, the comfort level of healthy volunteers will also be assessed using a satisfaction questionnaire.
