  • Abstract
    We present a 3D anatomically guided diagnostic system to detect internal bleeding of patients in the field. Our solution employs high fidelity digital human models to help medics with minimal training to find anatomical structures and subsequently obtain high quality ultrasound scans that may be shared with doctors located remotely.
