Comparative survey of ultrasound images compression methods dedicated to a tele-echography robotic system
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an evaluation of various compression techniques, for ultrasound images transmission, within a telemedicine project. For the purpose of this work, we selected seven compression methods : Fourier Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform, Wavelets, Quadtrees Transform, Fractals, Histogram Thresholding, and Run Lenght Coding. Preliminary results obtained on echographic images show that the method based upon the wavelet transform seems to give the best compromise between coding performance and image quality, measured thanks to mean square error and coding time.

A one-DOF freehand haptic device for robotic tele-echography.
Tele-echography may be an interesting alternative to conventional care when the medical expert is not close to the patient to be examined. In a system for tele-echography, medical expert proprioception and gesture feelings must be preserved to synchronize the ultrasound images with the motion made by the physician. It is why we develop a master-slave system for robotic tele-echography integrati...
متن کاملA new robot architecture for tele-echography
This paper presents a slave robot carrying an ultrasound probe for remote echographic examination. This robot is integrated in a master-slave system called robotic tele-echography (TER). The system allows an expert operator to perform a remote diagnosis from echographic data he acquires on a patient located in a distant place. The originality of this robot lies in its architecture: the cable-dr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the sonographic parameters related to morphological characteristics of pelvic adnexal masses by obtaining two-dimensional images by an observer presence, forwarded electronically (via tele-ultrasound) in static and dynamic modes observers do not face (distance) for comparative analyzes inter intraobserver and to the validation of a second opinion. METHODS From March to Aug...
متن کاملSafety Analysis of a Medical Robot for Tele-echography
Among many types of medical equipment, ultrasound diagnostic systems are widely used because of their convenience and safety. Performing an ultrasound examination involves good eye-hand coordination and the ability to integrate the acquired information over time and space. Some of these specialized skills may lack in some healthcare centers or for emergency situations. Tele-consultation is ther...
متن کاملIntegration of UML in human factors analysis for safety of a medical robot for tele-echography
For new robot applications, as medical robots, safety has became a major concern. The human sharing the working area with the robot led to integrate the field of human factors in the development. Hence, the human component has to be integrated in the early steps of the development process. Regards to the complexity of today’s robotic application, and to the requirements of a teamwork, we choose...
