Three Dimensional Imaging and Wireless Technologies to Enhance Medical Care in Space

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Aortic Valve Insufficiency, Aortic Stenosis

In brief

NASA has outlined the most urgent threats to life and health in manned spaceflight. One of the threats is the risk of trauma and acute medical problems. One of the most important provisions of acute and chronic medical services in space is the availability of high quality diagnostic imaging with the potential for either ground based or onsite interpretation. The principle diagnostic imaging modality for space crew use in space will be ultrasound. The aim of the study is as follows: -To use state of the art 3 dimensional CT scanner to acquire images for segmentation and registration supplying a template to judge physiologic or pathologic changes observed in space with 3D ultrasound
