Collaboration Live is a prospective, single-arm clinical study of subjects who provide written consent. Subjects are scanned using a Philips EPIQ 5 or EPIQ 7 Ultrasound System equipped with Collaboration Live software. The study investigator will evaluate performance of the Collaboration Live tool with regard to performance of conferencing, sharing and control capabilities. Adverse events will be reported and the study investigator will assess potential relationship to the study device or study procedure. Additionally, the utility of Collaboration Live in remote consult of study patients will be evaluated. No patient follow-up beyond the initial consultation will be conducted with the Collaboration Live software solution.
