Aims:
1. Develop an intuitive ultrasound image cataloging system which incorporates ground acquired ultrasound whole body images. The catalog will acquire ground based crew-member images to use for medical diagnosis in space.
2. A mathematical coupling model will be developed based on existing ground/in-flight ultrasound data which will allow microgravity associated morphometric and topographic changes to be predicted.
3. Assess the ability of non-physician crew medical officers (CMO) analogs to acquire and interpret complex ultrasound examinations autonomously or with remote guidance.
