Zusammenfassung
Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is actively diagnosed in chronic liver diseases (CLD) patients through screening programs, using a sensitive and easily accepted method – ultrasonography (US) and AFP determination. Aim: To test a new and improved tele-screening system for HCC using US image transmission and image analysis, whishing to: (a) early identify any suspicious focal liver lesion; (b) create a viable ultrasound tele-screening protocol for HCC; (c) create a health grid for CLD and HCC; (d) develop the system for risk identification based on an interactive, predictive analysis and pre-classification of…
