Abstract: Dr. Harris will present current state of the art for their work in Diagnostic Radiology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. They will also present their current research projects exploring tele-ultrasound, as well as their participation in the Vietnam "RICE" collaboration and trips to Vietnam, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, as well as Haiti, focusing on Adapting High Tech Imgaging to Low Resource Settings: Is it feasible and is it rational?
Ultrasound has great potential as an imaging technology in resource-limited environments. We present a novel tele-ultrasound approach designed to realize that potential by connecting a remote technician to a radiologist. Our prelim- inary system, based on open-source software and commercial off-the-shelf hardware, uses custom software and a satellite Internet connection to create this link. We also present the results of testing this system in both laboratory and real-world environments
