Towards Automated Initial Probe Placement in Transthoracic Teleultrasound Using Human Mesh and Skeleton Recovery

ArXi:2603.11257v1 Announce Type: new Cardiac and lung ultrasound are technically demanding because operators must identify patient-specific intercostal acoustic windows and then navigate between standard views by adjusting probe position, rotation, and force across different imaging planes. These challenges are amplified in teleultrasound when a novice or robot faces the difficult task of first placing the probe on the patient without in-person expert assistance.
