Robotic Arm-Assisted Sonography: Review of Technical Developments and Potential Clinical Applications.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound imaging requires trained personnel. Advances in robotics and data transmission create the possibility of telesonography. This review introduces clinicians to current technical work in and potential applications of this developin...

Initial Experience Using a Telerobotic Ultrasound System for Adult Abdominal Sonography.

Canadian Association of Radiologists journal = Journal l'Association canadienne des radiologistes
PURPOSE: The study sought to assess the feasibility of performing adult abdominal examinations using a telerobotic ultrasound system in which radiologists or sonographers can control fine movements of a transducer and all ultrasound settings from a r...

Developing a knowledge base to support the annotation of ultrasound images of ectopic pregnancy.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy is a frequent early complication of pregnancy associated with significant rates of morbidly and mortality. The positive diagnosis of this condition is established through transvaginal ultrasound scanning. The timing of d...

Premature atherosclerosis after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood.

Annals of agricultural and environmental medicine : AAEM
INTRODUCTION: Late cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients treated for common malignancies of childhood. Late cardiotoxicity include increased development of atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis - rel...

Ultrasound-Assessed Gastric Antral Area Correlates With Aspirated Tube Feed Volume in Enterally Fed Critically Ill Patients.

Nutrition in clinical practice : official publication of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
BACKGROUND: Enteral tube feed (ETF) intolerance occurs frequently in hospitalized patients and more so in critically ill patients. Most critical care nurses continue to assess gastric residual volume (GRV), especially among those with a history of ET...

A Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Characterization of Plaque Composition in Carotid Ultrasound.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Characterization of carotid plaque composition, more specifically the amount of lipid core, fibrous tissue, and calcified tissue, is an important task for the identification of plaques that are prone to rupture, and thus for early risk estimation of ...

An artificial neural network method for lumen and media-adventitia border detection in IVUS.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been well recognized as one powerful imaging technique to evaluate the stenosis inside the coronary arteries. The detection of lumen border and media-adventitia (MA) border in IVUS images is the key procedure to de...

Using Self-Reliance Factors to Decide How to Share Control Between Human Powered Wheelchair Drivers and Ultrasonic Sensors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
A shared-control scheme for a powered wheelchair is presented. The wheelchair can be operated by a wheelchair driver using a joystick, or directed by a sensor system, or control can be combined between them. The wheelchair system can modify direction...

Feasibility of Antegrade Contrast-enhanced US Nephrostograms to Evaluate Ureteral Patency.

Radiology
Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of contrast material-enhanced ulrasonographic (US) nephrostograms to assess ureteral patency after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in this proof-of-concept study. Materials and Methods For this HIPAA-complia...
