Abstract: A medical imaging system with a mechanical arm (3) comprises a support (1), a probe (2), the mechanical arm (3), and a controller. The mechanical arm (3) is mounted on the support (1). The probe (2) is mounted at one end away from the support (1), of the mechanical arm (3). The controller can drive the mechanical arm (3) to drive the probe (2) to implement multi-degree-of-freedom movement. The medical imaging system uses a structure that the controller drives the mechanical arm (3) to drive the probe (2) to implement multi-degree-of-freedom movement, so that working intensity when staff such as doctors operates the probe can be lowered, thereby alleviating operation fatigue of the staff such as the doctors.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging system (10) for assessing scoliosis, the system (10) comprising: an ultrasound scanner (11) to capture ultrasound images; a spatial sensor (13) to record the position and orientation of the captured ultrasound images; and a software module (21) to mark features of vertebra in the captured ultrasound images, and the marked features (41) are connected with lines (42) in order to calculate angles and distances between the marked features (41) for the calculation of the Cobb angle and spinal rotation angle based on the calculated angles and distances; wherein the marked features (41) are a reflection of the surfaces of the vertebra.
