All study volunteers will be identified via the HUMC volunteer office. Twenty UTPs (evaluators) including radiologists, emergency department (ED) physicians, and

trauma surgeons with experience in performing e-FAST examinations will also be recruited into the study. Pregnant women, Non-English speaking subjects and those with cognitive disabilities that would impair their ability to understand the informed consent process will be excluded from the study. The #SB203580 keyword# study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of HUMC and all study participants are required to provide informed consent. Recruitment and informed consent Potential study participants will be recruited from the volunteer office of HUMC. Protocol of the study will be explained by a research assistant (RA). Volunteers who agree to participate will then be asked to provide written informed consent. Participants Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical will receive compensation of $20 for their time and travel. The UTPs (evaluators) will be randomly selected from the hospital’s roster

of UTPs and approached by one of the investigators to participate in the study. All UTPs will also be required to provide Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical written informed consent. Characteristics of the TS system The system utilizes a patented technology (US Patent No: 7,948,933) developed for the broadcast industry by LiveU Corporation, Hackensack, New Jersey to take the video output of a standard medical ultrasound device and transmit the image in real time to a hospital or any other location. The video stream from the ultrasound device is transmitted in its entirety so the frame rate is preserved and decoded on the receiving end. The technology was developed by LiveU Corporation for high definition media/broadcast images and is being used by the major broadcast networks. The system was Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical adapted Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical for use with medical ultrasound in collaboration with Hackensack University Medical Center. The system utilizes proprietary implementations of video encoding/compression standard H.264, which provide adaptive bit rate, adaptive

and predictive forward error correction, and error recovery mechanisms. The transmission system has a built in proprietary passive antenna to support multiple signals including 3G and 4G LTE. Multiple modular wireless communications links are employed which can include any cellular Montelukast Sodium system including the latest technology such as LTE, WiMax, HSPA+, and the system is backward compatible with existing technology such as CDMA, FDMA, TDMA, WCDMA, WIFI. Satellite links such as BGAN and VSAT are also supported. Cellular modems or other communications devices for the desired link plug into LiveU system to provide connectivity. The desired bandwidth is achieved by tagging the digital words representing the ultrasound video images with identifiers separating and transmitting them over the multiple communications links, and then re-assembling the digital video stream at the receiving end to re-create the images.
