EUS Movies in VHJOE

The next advance in the development of VHJOE has occurred. We are now able to accept and publish movies with VHJOE articles. This will provide a powerful tool to demonstrate image acquisition from EUS and endoluminal digital technology. Click on the image below (Video Clip 1) to view the video clip from the article titled "Insulinoma Unmasked by Bariatric Surgery" by J. Deutsch, M. Slag, and J. Streitz in this issue of VHJOE. Click on Video Clip 2 to see a moving image of the bile duct from the Visible Human database.
Video clips are most conveniently viewed using the newest versions of Internet Explorer browsing software and a Pentium IV processor, but should also be viewable with most current computer software and hardware. Contributing authors are encouraged to submit video files with their articles. These video files can be in any digital format or on SHVS tapes. Video files should be emailed to pubvhjoe@uchsc.edu as separate attachments from the article text file. All patient identification should be deleted from the video clips.
With this next step, we hope that the VHJOE becomes a dynamic and interactive device in which to expand one’s knowledge in EUS visualization, technical skills, and petinent interactive anatomy. Additionally, our expert review columns are a place where one can turn for practical advice on the role of EUS in clinical medicine. This issue features an article by Dr. Richard Erickson titled "Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration of the Pancreas.” Dr Erickson provides useful technical tips on the safe and effective use of EUS-FNA of pancreatic disorders.
Finally, we want to continue to emphasize interactions with the Visible Human anatomy database. Figure 1 is a linked image in the Visible Human database showing the SMV as it transverses the pancreatic head. Please click on this image to enter the database at this image. If you cannot interact, make sure you have installed the prerequisite downloads. (This is found under Install Interactive Atlas.) |
