Mechanical design of an ultrasonic tomographic imaging system

Thesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2016.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 42-44).The paper presents the design and fabrication of a prototype for limb imaging aimed at tackling several of the issues. The design of the a US probe positioning system is intended to augment a system for motion measurement as well as a framework for the integration of motion and US data. The design of the imaging system below represents early steps towards a full-volume imaging technique for use in computer-aided prosthetic socket design.by Alfred Norman Mireault.S.B
