ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) video contents on YouTube, regarding their quality, reliability, and educational value. Method The first three pages for the keywords ‘Musculoskeletal Ultrasound’, ‘joint ultrasound’, and ‘articular ultrasound’ were searched through YouTube website. The quality of the videos was assessed according to the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Guidelines and EULAR Competency Assessment in MSUS. The reliability was evaluated with modified DISCERN tool. Results After the exclusion criteria applied, 58 videos were evaluated. The video quality analysis showed that probe holding (68.9%; median: 5, range: 0–5), scanning technique (63.8%; median: 4, range: 0–5), identification of anatomic structures (72.4%; median: 4, range: 0–5), and description of ultrasound findings (65.5%; median: 4, range: 0–5) were found to be sufficient, whereas ultrasound machine settings adjustments (1.7%; median: 0, range: 0–4) and final ultrasound diagnosis (12.1%; median: 0, range: 0–5) were insufficient. The total median value of the modified DISCERN scale was 2 (percentile: 2–2, range: 0–3). Conclusion MSUS video contents on YouTube are insufficient for educational purposes on MSUS training. There is a need for affordable, easily accessed, standardized, and peer-reviewed online training programmes on MSUS and MSUS-guided injections.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems have been spreading massively during the recent years. However, many challenges are still facing this technology among which is the lossy behavior and the uncontrolled network impairments of the Internet. In this chapter, the authors design and implement a VoIP test-bed utilizing the Adobe Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) that can be used for many voice interactive applications. The test-bed was used to study the effect of changing some voice parameters, mainly the encoding rate and the number of frames per packet as function of the network packet loss. Several experiments were conducted on several voice files over different packet losses, concluding in the best combination of parameters in low, moderate, and high packet loss conditions to improve the performance of voice packets measured by the Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) values.

P2P video streaming combining SVC and MDC In this paper we propose and evaluate a combined SVC-MDC (Scalable Video Coding & Multiple Description Video Coding) video coding scheme for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) video multicast. The proposed scheme is based on a full cooperation established between the peer sites, which contribute their upload capacity during video distribution. The source site splits the video content into many small blocks and assigns each block to a single peer for redistribution. Our solution is implemented in a fully meshed P2P network in which peers are connected to each other via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) links. The video content is encoded by using the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) method. We present a flow control mechanism that allows us to optimize dynamically the overall throughput and to automatically adjust video quality for each peer. Thus, peers with different upload capacity receive different video quality. We also combine the SVC method with Multiple Description Coding (MDC) to alleviate the packet loss problem. We implemented and tested this approach in the PlanetLab infrastructure. The obtained results show that our solution achieves good performance and remarkable video quality in the presence of packet loss.

Packet loss is unavoidable in IP multicast using the UDP protocol that will serious influence video quality. In this paper we use the Raptor codes for video multicast to improve the video quality. Firstly, the principle of Raptor codes is analyzed in detail. Then the Raptor codes is implemented and transplanted in the video transmission system. Simulation results show that the video transmission system with Raptor FEC works which can overcome the packet loss effectively and improve the playback quality significantly.
