| contents | This article reviews the recent advances in intelligent robotic ultrasound (US) imaging systems. We commence by presenting the commonly employed robotic mechanisms and control techniques in robotic US imaging, along with their clinical applications. Subsequently, we focus on the deployment of machine learning techniques in the development of robotic sonographers, emphasizing crucial developments aimed at enhancing the intelligence of these systems. The methods for achieving autonomous action reasoning are categorized into two sets of approaches: those relying on implicit environmental data interpretation and those using explicit interpretation. Throughout this exploration, we also discuss practical challenges, including those related to the scarcity of medical data, the need for a deeper understanding of the physical aspects involved, and effective data representation approaches. Moreover, we conclude by highlighting the open problems in the field and analyzing different possible perspectives on how the community could move forward in this research area. |
