Low-cost telesonography connects remote clinics
Researchers from Dartmouth Medical School established a low-cost telesonography model with real-time transmission over low-bandwidth connections between a remote clinic in an underdeveloped area and their facility.
Researchers from Dartmouth Medical School established a low-cost telesonography model with real-time transmission over low-bandwidth connections between a remote clinic in an underdeveloped area and their facility (AJR 2007;188[3]:W219-W22).
The research by Dr. Veljko Popov and colleagues was facilitated by recent technological advancements in the availability of inexpensive compact sonographic devices, low-bandwidth Internet connections via terrestrial or satellite links, and inexpensive hardware and software solutions for transmission of sonography data in teleconference settings.
Teleconferencing applications based on the H.323 protocol, a recommendation from the International Telecommunication Union that is being used in Voice-over-IP (VoIP)- and Internet Protocol (IP)-based videoconferencing, are capable of transmitting video and audio streams in real-time, transferring files, and allowing remote access and control of computers "By combining real-time video streams and still image capture, the bandwidth requirements decrease substantially, and image transmission over telephone lines or satellite link becomes possible," Popov said.
New Study Assesses Benefits of High-Resolution Photon-Counting for Computed Tomography Angiography
October 10th 2024Researchers found that ultra-high resolution photon-counting significantly enhanced visualization of small vessels and facilitated improved reduction of blooming artifacts for head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans.
Multicenter Study Identifies Key Factors Associated with Mammogram-Occult Ipsilateral Breast Cancer
October 9th 2024A symptomatic first breast cancer diagnosis, prevailing breast density at a second breast cancer diagnosis and trabecular thickening on surveillance mammography were linked to mammogram-occult ipsilateral breast cancer, according to new research.
