Abstract

A method is disclosed for moving a robot arm for an ultrasound examination, an ultrasound probe being attached to the robot arm. An associated ultrasound system is also disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes providing a trained artificial neural network recording a medical issue; determining a motion dataset containing a motion sequence of the robot arm by applying the trained artificial neural network to the medical issue; transferring the motion dataset to a controller of the robot arm; and moving the robot arm in accordance with the motion sequence of the motion dataset. An associated second computing unit, and an associated computer program product are also disclosed.
