Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Analysis of three dimensional structure of muscles and its movement is important for sports science and rehabilitation. Ultrasound is widely used for analyzing muscle function, however field-of-view (FOV) of a common ultrasound probe is not large enough to analyze the entire region of an individual muscle, for example, in the case of forearm. In several studies, the FOV has been extended by mosaicking a series of 2D images or using an optically or magnetically tracked probe. However, freehand sweeping does not ensure the accuracy of data collection, so an image quality is not stable. In this study, we developed a mechanical guide system for reconstructing large 3D ultrasound volume with high accuracy. In the experiments, we compared the reconstruction accuracy of the freehand system and the proposed linear guide system using a block shape phantom. Furthermore, we reconstructed forearm of a volunteer and confirmed three-dimensional of the muscle shape and muscle fiber while closing the hand.
