The focus will be on AI-guidance of the Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (E-FAST) procedure. The project builds on the AI POCUS AAA which uses AI to assist healthcare providers with limited ultrasound experience in diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The primary goal is to create AI-driven solutions that enable military medical personnel to perform accurate ultrasound examinations in the field, reducing the need for extensive training and ensuring rapid, targeted treatment and triage. The E-FAST procedure is crucial for detecting internal bleeding, pleural effusion, cardiac tamponade, and pneumothorax.
Using advanced AI techniques, the project will develop real-time segmentation and tracking of abdominal structures. We will work closely with military personnel and trauma personnel to ensure that the solutions will be tailored to military needs, including robustness against data attacks and independence from cloud services.
