The feasibility of real-time transmission of sonographic images from a remote location over low-bandwidth Internet links: a pilot study

Popov, Veljko, Popov, Dusan, Kacar, Ilija, Harris, Robert D.·2007·American Journal of Roentgenology

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We sought to show that sonography can be performed in teleconference settings, "telesonography," in which a remotely located sonography interpreter can monitor the examination in real-time and guide the examiner with voice commands while the patient simultaneously undergoes imaging, albeit at low resolution, thus helping to overcome the lack of trained operators in certain areas. CONCLUSION: This system of image transfer offers the potential for sonography to be performed at a remote underdeveloped region and interpreted in real-time at a distant site by trained radiologists, thereby extending the presence of physicians in virtual space.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Several studies on the topic of tele-ultrasound in resource-limited settings were not included because they did not report a patient care intervention or meaningful clinical outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
