📚 Ultrasound Video Module features
The Ultrasonic/Video module is an addition to the basic (Audio and EPG) Articulate Assistant Advanced (AAA) software that enables the recording and analysis of Ultrasonic (high frame rate, raw pre-scan ultrasound) data and is compatible with Micro, Art and legacy EchoB systems (and SonixTouch or SonixTablet Ultrasonix machines running Exam version 5.7). This module also enables the recording of lip camera or ultrasound video output through the dfg2USB video capture card (and legacy cards, Adlink Angelo RTV, Imperx VCE Expresscard|54), or by importing pre-recorded ultrasound video.
The ultrasound module enables the following functions:
- Record ultrasound synchronously with audio (hardware required)
- Import AVI format ultrasonic/video files
- Review and play back ultrasonic/video sequence
- Add splines and set conversion scale for mm measurements
- Calculate and display analysis values based on spline distances and shapes
- Export spline data in Euclidean or Polar co-ordinates
- Export analysis values for labelled time points
- Export ultrasonic and video movies in AVI format
- Provides a workspace for superimposing, averaging and comparing tongue curves which have been extracted from different time points or recordings
- Export raw Ultrasonix/EchoB/Micro data for further analysis
- Carve vocal tract boundaries from tracked contours.
- Perform live tracking of lip or tongue contours up to 40 frames per second
