Telemammography requires high spatial resolution, the transfer of large image files and rapid lossless transmission of images. Current teleradiology techniques fail to meet these requirements. A novel approach addressing these difficulties, involving robotic control of image acquisition, optical magnification and unique transmission strategies licensed from BellSouth Telecommunications, is proposed. Phase I goals include prototype development, software design and testing, objective characterization of the system and subjective system evaluation by a board certified radiologist. Following completion of Phase I, a Phase II application will be filed. Phase II will include optimization of system configuration, extensive testing and evaluation, both in-house and by consulting radiologists, culminating in clinical trials at a minimum of three sites. Following this we expect to file for FDA clearance of the device. This research should result in affordable, high resolution telemammography system that will provide better service to remote locations. With this system, even remote locations could have access to expertise and rapid diagnosis, affording women better care in a stressful time. This novel approach will have application to all of teleradiology, especially those specialties requiring a high spatial resolution. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The proposed project will result in a telemammography system that allows re-acquisition of high spatial resolution images by a remote radiologist via a roboticly controlled X- ray viewer. This system will allow transmission of high quality mammographic images from a center to a remote physician or form a remote hospital or clinic to a center for a more rapid referral and/or diagnosis. This improved affordable system for the transmission of radiologic images will have application to teleradiology in general.

远程乳腺摄影要求高空间分辨率， 图像文件和图像的快速无损传输。 电流 远程放射学技术不能满足这些要求。 一种新型 解决这些困难的方法，包括机器人控制， 图像采集、光学放大和独特传输 战略授权贝尔南方电信，提出了。 第一阶段的目标包括原型开发、软件设计和 测试、系统的客观表征和主观系统 由委员会认证的放射科医生进行评估。 完成后 第一阶段，将提交第二阶段申请。 第二阶段包括 优化系统配置，广泛的测试和评估， 无论是内部还是咨询放射科医生，最终在临床 至少在三个地点进行试验。 在此之后，我们预计将提交 FDA批准器械。 这项研究应该会产生负担得起的， 高分辨率远程乳腺摄影系统， 服务于偏远地区。 有了这个系统，即使是偏远地区 可以获得专业知识和快速诊断， 更好的照顾在一个紧张的时间。 这种新的方法将有 应用于所有远程放射学，特别是那些需要 高空间分辨率。 建议的商业应用：拟议的项目将导致 在允许重新获取高空间分辨率的远程乳房X线摄影系统中 分辨率图像由远程放射科医生通过一个机器人控制的X- 光线观察器该系统将允许高质量的传输 从中心到远程医生的乳房X线摄影图像或形成 远程医院或诊所到中心，以便更快速地转诊和/或 诊断.这种改进的负担得起的系统， 放射学图像通常将应用于远程放射学。
