    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Telemedicine

    Background:

    • Echocardiography is crucial for cardiac diagnosis.
    • Access to expert interpretation can be limited in remote areas.
    • Improving remote diagnostic capabilities is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility and quality of transmitting echocardiographic tracings via telephone facsimile.
    • To explore the potential of this technology for remote consultation and education.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated the transmission of echocardiographic tracings using three telephonic facsimile models.
    • Evaluated the quality of the transmitted copies.

    Main Results:

    • Transmitted echocardiographic tracings were found to be of acceptable quality.
    • Current models have technical limitations, but satellite technology may improve capacity.
    • Facilitates remote expert consultation and physician skill enhancement.

    Conclusions:

    • Telephonic transmission of echocardiograms is a viable method for remote areas.
    • This technology supports continuing medical education and improves diagnostic accuracy.
    • Potential for enhanced capacity with future satellite integration.
