Well, the diagnosis of stroke using your iPhone





Washington: Surgeons can recognize a stroke by using your iPhone with the same precision in the workplace for medical diagnosis, new research from the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine. This technology is particularly useful in rural health services. This is a real-time access to specialist neurologists, as he can, regardless of doctors and patients.



neuro-radiology study included 120 consecutive native last CT (CT) brain scan and 70 heads angiography (CTA), Calgary Stroke program database restored. Read diagnoses of two research stations of neuro-radiology and iPhone. The survey was designed by Dr. Mayank Goyal, and technology of the iPhone software, originally developed by Dr. Ross Mitchell and his team at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI), and then developed and marketed by Calgary Scientific Inc.



; The iPhone allows you to advanced visualization, and our research clearly shows PC PC 94-100, with respect to medical work in the diagnosis of stroke, said Mitchell, who was at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine. In case of emergency, diagnostic imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment, the critical time for the acute treatment of stroke play, every minute, said Mitchell.



Time is important in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke. Sure, there are advantages to doctors, the ability to analyze and diagnose images from anywhere. We were comfortable in our ability to detect subtle findings on CT, surprises, often very critical in treating patients with this software to detect that a member of the HBI, Dr. Mayank Goyal, who is also Head of Research, Department of Radiology and Neuro-radiology research, data analysis.



The advantage of this platform is able to process the huge amount of image data from more than 700 photos easily on the iPhone, he Goyal, who is also a member of the program of vascular dementia, stroke, and TDI. The study was conducted through mobile phones ResolutionMD Calgary Scientific Inc., for the iPhone and Android.



MD The resolution differs from other medical applications such as video servers, and not all computers and view images on your smartphone in real time streams. Doctors can view and manipulate medical images in seconds, unlike other applications that can be 10-20 minutes of raw materials of medical images on iPhone before it can be demonstrated to download. It is also unique because all the medical images are safe. Images remain confidential patient information behind a firewall hospital patient data loss or theft prevention.



This technology can be used for long distances. Through the remote servers in the community, medical experts are at a distance, such as neurologists and radiologists immediate and secure access to the analysis of patients with all the equipment in their pockets. Photos on the iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone or Web browser are included.
