Abstract: A system that is capable of performing a fully automated ultrasonic (US) scan. The subject that is undergoing the scan associates with the system and the scan is performed without any human intervention. The US probe comprises an US transducer that is configured to generate US signals and detect their reflections, to collect acoustic data during the scan. The US probe is moved by a probe-motioning unit that is affixed and is configured to move the US probe in up to six degrees of freedom according to the desired scan pattern that is determined by a processing circuitry of the system, i.e. a control unit. Therefore, any anatomical landmark of the eye can be scanned from any desired angle. The processing circuitry is configured to control the operation of the US probe and the probe-motioning unit to execute a desired scan pattern.

Abstract: Provided is a system for automatic examination of a body part of a subject, including a support configured to support a subject's body portion including said body part; a measuring subsystem including at least one sensor configured to detect at least one feature of the subject, a mechanical subsystem configured for receiving at least two examination devices and for positioning the at least two examination devices and/or said support in operative positions; and a control unit.
