The requested system combines two unique portable medical imaging acquisition devices: a handheld 3D scanner for real-time scanning using structured light and a portable ultrasound (U/S) machine for real-time scanning using sound waves. Both imaging devices are portable, fast, have 3D capacity, no radiation, and can be used without time-consuming setup or calibration. While the structured light scanner can be used to extract high-resolution surface information from objects with direct access, the portable U/S machine can obtain information from objects without or very limited direct access. This unique system will be used by a group of interdisciplinary researchers conducting a wide range of research, including image-guided interventions, advanced cartilage repair techniques in knee and ankle joints, computer-aided diagnosis and detection of cancer, and human motions analysis. The researchers will use the imaging system for patient-friendly, safe, and real-time collection of anatomical information either during surgical interventions, or clinical appointments. This will eliminate or minimize the need to bring in patients for special imaging appointment for research purposes and will allow the researchers to collect a wider range of data to accelerate their research programs. Furthermore, the user-friendliness and versatility of the proposed system will make it an ideal tool for training HQP to gain skills and expertise in interdisciplinary fields.

所要求的系统结合了两种独特的便携式医学成像采集设备：使用结构光进行实时扫描的手持式3D扫描仪和使用声波进行实时扫描的便携式超声(U/S)机。这两种成像设备都是便携式的，速度快，具有3D容量，没有辐射，无需耗时的设置或校准即可使用。虽然结构光扫描仪可以用于通过直接访问从对象提取高分辨率表面信息，但便携式U/S机器可以在没有直接访问或非常有限的直接访问的情况下从对象获取信息。这一独特的系统将被一组跨学科的研究人员使用，进行广泛的研究，包括图像引导干预、膝关节和脚踝关节的先进软骨修复技术、计算机辅助诊断和癌症检测以及人体运动分析。研究人员将使用成像系统在手术干预或临床预约期间对患者友好、安全和实时地收集解剖信息。这将消除或最大限度地减少出于研究目的而需要为患者进行特殊成像预约的需要，并将允许研究人员收集更广泛的数据以加快他们的研究计划。此外，拟议系统的用户友好性和多功能性将使其成为培训总部人员以获得跨学科领域的技能和专门知识的理想工具。
