Current imaging of the artery relies primarily on computed tomography angiography (CTA), which requires contrast injections and exposure to radiation. In this paper, we present a method for fully autonomous artery 3D image acquisition using a linear ultrasound (US) probe and a 6 DoFs robot arm with a 3D camera. Robotic vessel acquisition can minimize tissue deformation and permit the reproduction ...
