MENDOLA, P. AND J. WEINER. FINAL INTERIM REPORT, CANDIDATE SITES, MACHINES IN USE, DATA STORAGE AND TRANSMISSION METHODS: TESTING FEASIBILITY OF 3D ULTRASOUND DATA ACQUISITION AND RELIABILITY OF DATA RETRIEVAL FROM STORED 3D IMAGES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-05/011, 2005.
Impact/Purpose:
To examine the feasibility of collecting, transmitting, and analyzing 3-D ultrasound data in the context of a multi-center study of pregnant women.
Description:
The purpose of this Work Assignment, 02-03, is to examine the feasibility of collecting transmitting, and analyzing 3-D ultrasound data in the context of a multi-center study of pregnant women. The study will also examine the reliability of measurements obtained from 3-D images< that have been stored and retrieved. The first deliverable under this assignment was the creation of a work plan that outlined< the tasks, schedule, deliverables, and budget. This was submitted to EPA on February 12, 2004. The second deliverable for the work assignment was the interim report. A draft of the interim< report, including a description of candidate sites and the machines in use at these sites as well as the file storage and transmission options was submitted to EPA. The draft interim report listed the steps that would be taken by RTI to complete the site selection process and the file storage and transfer method determination. This document, the final interim report, includes our assessment of and recommendations for data including 3-D volume datasets, storage, transfer and retrieval, as well as potential local sites and central facility. A brief background of the study and detailed information about individual components that are appropriate for review is presented below.
