Echocardiography
  • Uses very high frequency sound or ultrasound
  • ( 2- 15 MHz)
  • Visualizes details of heart anatomy
  • Uses probe with transducer
  • Two-dimensional echocardiography probe emits a
    sequence of pulses in different directions
    provides information by returning echoes
  • Apex of pie represents the point nearest to the
    probe rest of picture represents a composite of
    depth information

Technology
  • Yuma
  • Philips 5500 or 7500 model echo machine
  • Videoconferencing dual screen Tandberg Intern-2
    unit via a video S-cable.
  • IP connection via a T1 line on the ATP's private
    network.
  • Tucson
  • Videoconferencing Tandberg 6000 Standard
    bandwidth for clinical consultations is 768 Kbps.
  • Same hook up (Store-forward Real-time echo
    studies)

11
Real-Time vs Store-Forward
  • Real-time Store-forward echo studies 2 cases
  • Real-time connection 16 cases
  • Yuma used real-time and store-forward to have a
    tape to be locally reviewed
