Evaluation of Robotic Telesonography

NCT02607475 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

Summary

Robotic telesonography, in which an expert remotely performs sonography in real time, has recently emerged as an opportunity to perform sonography at remote centres. Using a robotic system and an assistant with limited training at the remote site, an expert can manipulate an ultrasound probe and generate images in real-time via an Internet connection. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of robotic telesonography for obstetric and adult and pediatric abdominal imaging in a centre with established sonography services which will be used as a comparator to robotic telesonography.

Conditions

  • Adult Abdominal Imaging
  • Pediatric Abdominal Imaging
