(range, 10-18) and 18 min (range, 13-23) by conventional and tele-echography methods, respectively. The mean number of times the robotic arm was repositioned on the patient's abdomen was seven (range, 5-9).Conclusion Tele-echography using a robotic arm provides the main information needed to assess fetal growth and the intrauterine environment within a limited period of time.
The results of this study demonstrate that the teleoperated echograph and probe system developed by our research group can be successfully used for ultrasound examinations in areas isolated from trained sonographers.
Telesonography allowed untrained operators to scan and transfer the US volume datasets over the Internet to an expert center where an expert sonographer could navigate through the reconstructed US volume and visualize sonograms of diagnostic quality.
Methods: Sixty women who underwent IVF cycle participated this prospective study. The ovarian vascularization was measured after pituitary downregulation, after FSH-stimulation and after hCGinjection using three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasonography. The total vascularized volume in the ovaries was divided by the number of follicles. Results:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
