Abstract: Die Fraktursonografie ist zunehmend Gegenstand internationaler Forschung. Die Diagnostik kann bei Kindern bis zum 12. Lebensjahr für die distale Unterarmfraktur röntgenfrei erfolgen, am Ellenbogen wird sie als Ausschlussdiagnostik angewandt und für die proximale Humerusfraktur erreicht sie eine 50 %ige Reduktion der Röntgenbelastung. Auch die Suche nach okkulten Läsionen ist eine gute Indikation; Klavikulafrakturen und AC-Sprengungen lassen sich sonografisch teilweise besser als radiologisch beurteilen. Etlich… Show more

IntroductionPaediatric forearm fractures are a prevalent reason for medical consultation, often requiring diagnostic X-rays that present a risk due to ionising radiation, especially concerning given the sensitivity of children’s tissues. This paper explores the efficacy of ultrasound imaging, particularly through the development of the SonoBox system, as a safer, non-ionising alternative. With emerging evidence supporting ultrasound as a viable method for fracture assessment, innovations like SonoBox will become increasingly important.Materials and methodsIn our project, we want to advance ultrasound-based, contact-free, and automated cross-sectional imaging for diagnosing paediatric forearm fractures. To this end, we are building a technical platform that navigates a commercially available ultrasound probe around the extremity within a water-filled tank, utilising intelligent robot control and image processing methods to generate a comprehensive ultrasound tomogram. Safety and hygiene considerations, gender and diversity relevance, and the potential reduction of radiation exposure and examination pain are pivotal aspects of this endeavour.ResultsPreliminary experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of rapidly generating ultrasound tomographies in a water bath, overcoming challenges such as water turbulence during probe movement. The SonoBox prototype has shown promising results in transmitting position data for ultrasound imaging, indicating potential for autonomous, accurate, and potentially painless fracture diagnosis. The project outlines further goals, including the construction of prototypes, validation through patient studies, and development of a hygiene concept for clinical application.ConclusionThe SonoBox project represents a significant step forward in paediatric fracture diagnostics, offering a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional X-ray imaging. By automating the imaging process and removing the need for direct contact, SonoBox has the potential to improve clinical efficiency, reduce patient discomfort, and broaden the scope of ultrasound applications. Further research and development will focus on validating its effectiveness in clinical settings and exploring its utility in other medical and veterinary applications.
