FIELD OF DISCLOSURE
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a field of telecommunications
technology in a medical field. More precisely, the disclosure relates to a system and method for conducting radiological procedures remotely using advanced telecommunication technologies such as 5G networks.
BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE
[0003] The following description of related art is intended to provide
background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.
[0004] Radiology is a branch of medicine that uses an imaging technology
for diagnosing and treating diseases. It consists of procedures (exams/tests) such as X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), ultrasound, and so forth. However, in some areas, there may be a shortage of radiologists with specialized expertise. Moreover, traditional radiology services may have limited hours of

operation. Also, in traditional radiology, there may be delays in a delivery of radiology reports, especially in remote or rural areas. Further, establishing and maintaining a radiology department with all necessary equipment can be costly. Therefore, to overcome the aforementioned issues, a tele-robotic radiology has been introduced. In a first conventional approach, medical robots such as robotic systems have been used in the radiology for imaging procedures or interventions. Such medical robots have a potential to enhance the field of radiology. While these medical robots offer various advantages; however, they also have some drawbacks and limitations.
[0005] As an example, the robotic systems such as, the da Vinci Surgical
System have been used in the radiology for minimally invasive procedures. However, these systems have limitations as they are expensive to purchase, install, and maintain, making them less accessible to many healthcare facilities. Secondly, surgeons and radiologists need specialized training to effectively operate and utilize capabilities of the robotic systems. The learning curve can be steep, requiring dedicated time and resources for proficiency.
[0006] Further, in another conventional approach, the Universal Robot
UR5e, a robotic arm known for its precision and flexibility, represents a critical component in an automation of tasks including those in the medical field. Control elements such as “Teach Pendant” allow for user-friendly programming and operation of such robotic arms. Moreover, a computing hardware, including Mini-PCs like the AEEON Boxer - 6643-TGU-A2-1010, provides a necessary processing power and interfacing capabilities, while 5G modules such as the Quectel-RM510QGLAA enable a high-speed transmission of data crucial for real-time remote operation. Telecommunication infrastructures for such systems, with services like private network connectivity providing requisite bandwidth and a low latency for seamless data transfer and control signal transmission between a patient and locations of a doctor. Despite the availability of various technologies, it is a significant challenge to integrate these components into a cohesive, reliable, and

user-friendly system that is capable to provide high-quality radiological imaging remotely. Existing solutions often face limitations due to latency, bandwidth constraints, integration complexity, and safety concerns, which can compromise an efficacy and responsiveness of the tele-robotic system.
[0007] Tele-operated or remote-controlled systems allow the radiologists to
control a movement and positioning of imaging devices from a remote location. However, the remote-controlled systems rely on stable and high-bandwidth network connections for real-time transmission of imaging data. Connectivity issues can lead to delays, interruptions, or degraded image quality. The robotic systems used for image-guided interventions, such as robot-assisted biopsies or ablations, have limited degrees of freedom, which can restrict their ability to access certain anatomical regions or perform complex manoeuvres. Robotic interventions may involve complex setup and calibration processes, requiring additional time and resources compared to traditional manual procedures.
[0008] Integrating the robotic systems into existing radiology workflows
and infrastructure can be challenging maneuvers. Compatibility and integration with the existing imaging devices, software, and information systems may require additional hardware or software modifications. Ensuring seamless communication and interoperability between the robotic systems and the existing systems, such as Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), or Radiology Information Systems (RIS), can be complex. Addressing these drawbacks requires ongoing research and development to improve the capabilities, usability, and affordability of the medical robots in the radiology. Additionally, regulatory frameworks, standardization efforts, and operator training programs are necessary to ensure safe and effective integration of the robotic systems into a clinical practice.
[0009] Thus, there is a need to overcome the above drawbacks and
limitations in the current practices to provide a tele-robotic radiology equipment that not only adheres to all regulatory frameworks and policies, but also reduces

network latencies, is easy to use, and is compatible with the existing medical systems so that the radiologists can easily use the system to assist their own work.

translate them into the movements of the robotic arm (114). In an embodiment, the
haptic sensor (120) may detect forces and sensations experienced by the robotic
arm (114) and provide feedback to the haptic force controller (122) to adjust the
20 haptic feedback provided to the medical professional (110). As used herein, the
haptic feedback may refer to a haptic force (128) felt by the medical professional (110) when interacting with the robotic arm (114) through the HMI (116).
[0081] In an embodiment, the haptic force controller (122) may control the
25 haptic feedback provided to the medical professional (110) through the haptic
device (130), ensuring that the medical professional (110) feels the appropriate

embodiment, the joystick motor (124) may control movements of the haptic device
(130) such as joystick in response to the instruction of the medical professional
30 (110). In an aspect, the joystick motor (124) may translate the instructions of the
medical professional (110) into physical movements of the joystick. In an aspect, the medical professional (110) may utilize a physical position of the joystick
20

(referred to as a joystick position) (132), to control the movement of the robotic arm (114).
[0082] Further, the control domain (126) may be a network or a system
5 architecture that facilitates communication between the various components of the
robotic system (112), including the HMI (116), the robotic arm controller (118) and the haptic sensor (120).
[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the HMI (116) may be provided for
10 the medical professional (110) such as, the doctor to interact with the robotic system
(112) and set controls with the haptic force controller (122). Further, the doctor may
use the joystick motor (124) for applying the haptic force (128) with any particular
joystick position (132) depending on the requirement. The joystick may be
connected to the robotic arm controller (118) that operates on the patient, in an
15 embodiment. Therefore, the doctor may operate the robotic system (112) and the
robotic arm controller (118) remotely using the 5G core network (108) to minimize
latency and provide full control to the doctor for administration purposes. In an
embodiment, a camera (not shown) may be provided to capture the real-time images
of the organs of the patient for the medical professional (110) to monitor in real-
20 time.
[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, the system (100) is capable of several
applications such as performing ultrasound remotely over the 5G network (108), a latency < 20 ms, real time operations using 5G uRLLC (less than 25ms), a seamless
25 Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, and a Quality of Service (QoS) for
critical care applications among others. uRLLC stands for Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications. It is a communication concept and technology defined by 5th generation (5G) wireless network standards. The Tele Ultrasound comprises a robotics set at a patient’s end and a Haptic Setup at a doctor’s end. The data is
30 transferred over a cloud. The robotic system (112) (consists of the robotic arm (114)

and some required components enclosed in the provided casing and plus a charging adapter).
[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, on the patient’s side, there is a mini-
5 PC, the 5G network (108) in an in-built module, a webcam, a power, Universal
Standard Bus (USB) cables and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cables for corresponding devices. In the robotic system (112), the controller, a teach pendant, a 48V battery, a battery charger, a trolley and casing, Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) and internal wiring, and a 3D printed gripper (to hold the probe)

[0086] In an embodiment, the 5G network (108) with the integrated robotic
system (112) provides ultra-fast data transmission speeds, enabling real-time
20 communication and seamless data exchange between the user equipment (106) of
the medical professional (110) and the robotic arm controller (118). This high-speed connectivity ensures minimal latency, facilitating instantaneous control and feedback during the radiology procedures. The 5G network (108) offers low latency, reducing a delay between commands of the medical professional (110) and
25 a response of the robotic arm (114). This near-real-time interaction enables precise
control of the robotic arm (114), enhancing procedural accuracy and reducing a risk of errors. 5G networks (108) are designed to provide highly reliable connections, minimizing signal disruptions and maintaining stable communication throughout the procedure. This reliability is crucial for the system (100), as any interruptions
30 in the connection could impact the medical professional’s (110) control and
compromise the patient’s safety. The 5G network (108) offers increased bandwidth capacity, allowing for the seamless transmission of large amounts of data in real-
22

time. This is particularly important in radiology, where high-resolution imaging
data, such as the CT scans or ultrasound images, need to be transmitted quickly and
efficiently between the medical professional (110) and the robotic arm (114) with
a reduced latency of less than 20 microseconds.

system (100) to ensure an accuracy of sensor readings and responsiveness of actuator control, thereby establishing a stable connection between the user equipment (106) of the medical professional (110) and the robotic arm (114). The
20 processor (202) forms the brain of the system (100), executes instructions necessary
to carry out tele-robotic operations. Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the processor (202) may be configured to drive the actuators of the robotic arm (114) by using motor control units. The processor (202) may receive commands from the robotic arm controller (118) and converts the commands into
25 appropriate control signals to drive motors and achieve a desired robotic arm (114)
movement. Algorithms may be used to calculate inverse and forward kinematics of the robotic arm (114), translating desired end effector positions into joint angles and vice versa. They can also consider the dynamics of the robotic arm (114) to ensure smooth and accurate movements. The processor (202) may utilize the
30 feedback from the sensors to implement a closed-loop control. The processor (202)
may continuously compare the desired position of the robotic arm (114) or force
24

with the actual measurements and adjust the control signals accordingly to
minimize errors and achieve precise control. The processor (202) protects both the
robotic arm (114) and the surrounding environment by using software limits,
obstacle detection, and emergency stop features. The processor (202) provides real-
5 time feedback and control over the robotic arm (114), enabling the accurate and
precise movements during the tele-robotic radiology procedures.
[0091] The memory (204) may be coupled to the processor (202) and serves
as a repository for storing the images captured from the camera during the
10 radiological procedures. The processor (202) receives input commands from the
memory (204) and translates the input commands into appropriate control signals
for actuators of the robotic arm (114). The memory (204) allows for quick access

power to the robotic arm (114) and its associated components. The power supply component includes power distribution units, voltage regulators, and power
25

management systems to ensure stable and reliable power delivery. Further, in an
example, an actuator control component converts the control signals from the
robotic arm controller (118) into appropriate signals for an actuator movement. The
actuator control component includes motor controllers or driver circuits that drive
5 the actuators, such as electric motors, hydraulic systems, or pneumatic systems. The
actuator control component ensures precise and accurate actuation of the robotic arm (114). The actuation mechanisms may physically convert electrical signals into mechanical motion. They can include motors, gears, belts, hydraulics, or pneumatics, depending on the design of the robotic arm (114). These mechanisms
10 provide the necessary force and motion for the joints of the robotic arm (114) and
the end effector. Feedback sensors may be used to monitor the position, velocity, and force of the actuators of the robotic arm (114). Encoders, potentiometers, or other sensors provide feedback on the actuator's performance, enabling closed-loop control and precise positioning. The feedback data is used to ensure accurate and
15 reliable movements of the robotic arm (114). The power component and the

25 information. The communication module (212) implements communication
protocols to facilitate data exchange. In an example, the communication module
(212) may utilize standard protocols such as, but not limited to, a Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP)/ Internet Protocol (IP) or custom protocols designed
specifically for the tele-robotic radiology system (100). The communication
30 module (212) handles formatting, packaging, and parsing of messages to ensure

[00103] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of a process (300) for
20 conducting the tele-robotic radiology, in accordance with an embodiment of the
present disclosure. In an embodiment, the process (300) prepares the tele-robotic
radiology system (100), including the robotic arm (114), imaging equipment, and
the communication infrastructure. The power on the system (100) is turned on and
ensures all the components are functioning properly. The process (300) includes a
25 step of establishing the network connectivity between the user equipment (106) of
the medical professional (110) and the robotic arm (114). The process (300)
includes setting up the user equipment (106) of the medical professional (110) with
a necessary software and the user interface for controlling the robotic arm (114) and
ensuring the medical professional (110) has access to relevant patient data, imaging
30 tools, and controls required for the radiology procedure. In an embodiment, an
administrator may position the patient appropriately for the radiology procedure
29

and can also calibrate and adjust the imaging equipment, such as X-ray detectors or ultrasound transducers, based on the patient’s anatomy and desired imaging views.
[00104] In an embodiment, once the positions are secured, a secure and
5 reliable communication link between the user equipment (106) of the medical
professional (110) and the robotic arm (114) is established. The process (300) includes performing system (100) checks to ensure the proper sensor readings, the actuator control, and the communication. The administrator uses an interface of the robotic arm controller (118) or the haptic device (130) to manipulate the robotic
10 arm (114) remotely. The administrator controls the movements of the robotic arm
(114) and positioning to perform the required radiology procedure, such as positioning the imaging probe, adjusting the field of view, or performing interventional tasks. It collaborates with other medical professionals (110) involved in the procedure, providing them with the necessary information and coordinating
15 actions as needed.
[00105] In an exemplary embodiment, at the patient's end, the process (300)
begins with a step (302) of verifying the power supply and connectivity, followed by a step (304) of powering the robotic system (112) and the camera. It ensures that
20 the robotic arm (114) and its accompanying systems are fully operational and ready
for the procedure. At a doctor's end, the process (300) includes a step (306) of connecting the haptic device (130), followed by a step (308) of allowing the medical professional (110) to log in to a user interface and maneuver the haptic device (130) in response to the captured images. Further, the process (300) includes a step (310)
25 of enabling the operator to press indicators to move the robotic arm (114) in the
desired direction. In an aspect, the robotic arm (114) is equipped with 6 degrees of freedom positional sensing, allowing it to detect position and orientation in space.
[00106] Further, the process (300) includes a step (312) of enabling the
30 medical professional (110), such as the doctor, to move the haptic device (130) in
directions to capture a range of movements based on a live communication feed.
The process (300) also includes a step (314) of enabling the medical professional
30

(110) located at another location to move the haptic device (130) towards an
affected organ of the patient to intuitively move the robotic arm (114) in such
direction. The haptic device (130) provides force feedback to the medical
professional (110), allowing the medical professional (110) to control the robotic
5 arm (114) with precision. The process (300) includes a step (316) of transmitting

The camera may be attached to the robotic arm (114) to continuously monitor the feedback from the sensors of the robotic arm (114) and the imaging equipment and makes necessary adjustments to the movements of the robotic arm (114), positioning, or imaging parameters based on
15 the real-time feedback to ensure accurate and optimal results. The process (300)
includes a step (320) of enabling the medical professional (110) to complete the diagnosis in real-time or asynchronously, upon conducting the procedure virtually.
[00107] FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate a use case scenario (400A) for conducting
20 the tele-robotic radiology procedure, in accordance with an embodiment of the
present disclosure. Referring to the FIG. 4A, a use case scenario (400A) of a needle
biopsy using the system (100) is disclosed. For example, the needle biopsy is a
minimally invasive procedure used to collect tissue samples from suspicious or
abnormal areas within a body for diagnostic purposes. The administrator needs to
25 prepare the tele-robotic radiology system (100), including the robotic arm (114),
the imaging equipment, and the communication infrastructure. The administrator
can power on the system (100) and ensure all components are functioning properly
and also establish the network connectivity between the user equipment (106) of
the medical professional (110) and the robotic arm (114).
30
31

[00108] The administrator can also set up the user equipment (106) of the
medical professional (110) with the necessary software and the user interface for
controlling the robotic arm (114) and ensure access to the relevant patient data, the
imaging tools, and controls required for the biopsy procedure. The administrator
5 can position the patient appropriately based on a target area for the biopsy and
calibrate or adjust the imaging equipment, such as the ultrasound transducers or CT scanners, to visualize the target area. The system (100) establishes a secure and reliable communication link between the the user equipment (106) of the medical professional (110) and the robotic arm (114) and also performs system (100) checks
10 to ensure the proper sensor readings, the actuator control, and the communication.
The operator uses the interface of the robotic arm controller (118) to remotely manipulate the robotic arm (114) and visualize the target area using the imaging feedback from the sensors of the robotic arm (114) or the imaging equipment. It controls the movements of the robotic arm (114) to position a needle accurately at
15 the target area under real-time imaging guidance.
[00109] In an embodiment, a next step in the needle biopsy is to guide the
robotic arm (114) to position the needle accurately using the imaging feedback. The system (100) activates a needle deployment mechanism to insert the needle into the
20 target area. It also collects the tissue samples using the needle and retract it once
the samples are obtained. There is real-time feedback and adjustment by continuously monitoring the imaging feedback and adjusting the movements of the robotic arm (114) if necessary for optimal needle placement and sample collection. The system (100) also enables collaborating with other medical professionals (110),
25 such as radiologists or pathologists, to ensure the accuracy and adequacy of the
collected tissue samples. For procedure completion and evaluation, the system (100) verifies the completion of the biopsy procedure and also evaluates a quality of the obtained samples and the success of the procedure. Once the radiology procedure is completed, the administrator also needs to ensure the proper
30 positioning of the patient and the system (100) while evaluating the quality of the
obtained images and the success of the procedure. The administrator can safely
32

power off the system (100), disconnect the user equipment (106) of the medical professional (110) from the robotic arm (114), and ensure proper disposal of the collected tissue samples.

covered using the system (100) are disclosed. It includes ultrasounds (400B) of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, right kidney, spleen and left kidney, and urinary bladder, among others. The system (100) can be easily used to gather the ultrasounds remotely. An ultrasound probe is integrated with the robotic arm (114),
10 allowing it to be maneuvered and positioned accurately under a control of the
medical professional (110). The probe may be equipped with the additional sensors to capture position and orientation information for precise imaging. The ultrasound probe captures the ultrasound images in real-time. The imaging data is processed by the ultrasound system, which generates high-resolution images based on echoes
15 received from the tissues. The captured ultrasound images are compressed and
encoded into a suitable format for transmission over the 5G network (108) which ensures efficient data transfer without compromising the quality of the images. The encoded ultrasound images are transmitted over the 5G network (108) in real-time. The high-speed and low-latency capabilities of 5G network (108) enable seamless
20 and near-instantaneous transfer of the imaging data from the robotic arm (114) to
the administrator console/ interface.
