Hello, I am a master student who for his thesis project tries to use a GE Vscan Extend Ultrasound to perform a real-time 3D reconstruction of a phantom. However, from what I’ve read, I don’t think this type of scanner is supported. Is there a way to use such an ultrasound? Thank you very much

@ColtonBarr It would be great if you could summarize the solutions that you implemented to use live GE Vscan images in Slicer.

Thanks for the answer, would it be possible to contact @ColtonBarr privately?

He will answer here. Probably many other people are interested in this and it would not be efficient to answer each person in private.

Sorry if I said something inappropriate, thank you again for your availability.

Hi Paolo - sorry for the slow response! I ran into a similar issue when using the GE Vscan Air CL to perform 3D ultrasound reconstructions. The challenge is that the GE VScan products do not have an API that supports realtime streaming as far as I’m aware. While GE does have some developer resource…

@ColtonBarr Hi Colton, Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I was able to enable USB debugging mode on the display and connect the Ge Vscan extend to the PC. I would be interested in understanding how you then made the extension and I would like to have more details on how to set up strea…

Hi @ruben99999 - happy to help! That’s great to hear that you were able to get the VScan connected to your PC. This may be a feasible method of getting data off the device. I’ve created a public GitHub repo where you can access the Slicer extension for streaming from an Android device: StreamAndroi…

This is fantastic. I’m curious if you’ve done any more with this in the mean time. I have a vscan air and would be curious to try this if I find the time, but would love to avoid starting from scratch if possible.
