Yhe obtained files are quite compressed with a still satisfactory quality. My original videoclips are generated in a DICOM format and transferred via a local net (Ethernet) from the scanning machine (Sequoia-Acuson) to a computer. I use E-film to convert the DICOM clip to a AVI clip. Unfortunately if I set a too high grade of compression in that process the resulting clip quality turns out to be quite jaggy. That is the reason why I use AVI2MPG2. These compressed videoclips with the .m1v extension can easily be played with Quicktime v. 6.5 (Apple) or with Gate's Windows Media Player v. 9.0. See my previous post to learn how to use Quicktime which I prefer (not only because I am MAC fan since 1984)to analize videoclips. I hope to contribute in some way with this post to make it easier to play around with videoclips which to my opinion are at present the best and most complete way to convey information gathered by ultrasound scanning.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
