Researchers at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu are turning to real-time tele-echocardiology interpretation to overcome the distance between cardiologists and their often far-flung patient populations.
Researchers at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu are turning to real-time tele-echocardiology interpretation to overcome the distance between cardiologists and their often far-flung patient populations.
The real-time tele-echo interpretation methodology used by at Tripler involves a unique application of the eICU, a product from Baltimore-based VISICU. The eICU technology is described in the October 2004 issue of the Hawaii Medical Journal.
The eICU transmits high volumes of video, audio, and primary physiologic monitoring data over T1 lines at rates of up to 1544 kb/sec.
The connection between Tripler and Guam covers 3800 miles, the greatest distance that the technology has been reported to cover thus far.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
