No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this proposal, the investigators will demonstrate the feasibility and noninferiority of telerobotic ultrasonography as compared to traditional manual acquisition in performing a limited carotid Duplex examination and in carotid plaque detection.

Conditions

Interventions

RADIATION

Ultrasound for Carotid Arteries

Cohort A: each subject will undergo two manual ultrasound image acquisitions by two different registered vascular sonographers who will be blinded to one another's images and findings. Cohort B: each subject in Cohort B will undergo one manual ultrasound acquisition conducted at Rush University Medical Center.

RADIATION

Telerobotic Ultrasound for Carotid Arteries

Cohort A: each subject will undergo two separate telerobotic acquisitions, in which the robotic arm will be controlled by two separate sonographers from Mount Sinai Medical Center (New York, NY). The sonographers controlling the robotic arm will be blinded to one another's images and to the images from the manual acquisition. Cohort B: each subject will undergo one telerobotic ultrasound (in random sequence with the manual acquisition also performed for this cohort) acquired by a separate technologist than the technologist that acquired the subject's manual ultrasound. This acquisition will be conducted at Rush University Medical Center by a technologist blinded to the images of the manual acquisition technologist. Robotic acquisition will be manipulated from a different building at Rush University Medical Center using a broadband cellular internet signal (rather than the institutional intranet).
