A solution to detect abrachial plexus on an ultrasound image
Project Overview
The subject area of the project is medicine. To be more specific — shoulder surgery. Surgery often implies some patient’s discomfort and pain during the post-surgery recovery. Currently,the patient’s pain is frequently managed by means of drugs, which causes plenty ofunwanted side effects. One of the methods to reduce the patient’s pain instead of usingdrugs is implanting catheters that block or mitigate the pain at the source. Pain managementcatheters reduce drug addiction and speed up the patient’s recovery. So the catheter shouldbe implanted into the correct area of the body and affect the nerves directly. The project comes up with the solution which allows users to detect the nerve structure called the brachial plexus on the ultrasound picture and the exact area in the patient’s body to implant the catheter.Client
