Abstract:
The transport of dynamic ultrasound (US) pictures as video files or streams no longer presents a problem. Despite teleconferencing, this method of transfer provides no active influence on the data sent for the receiving expert. We are evaluating a software-based 3-D US system that provides the new opportunity of an active US re-evaluation of a virtual patient. The 3-D volumes can be reanalyzed, time- and examiner-independent, wherever the device is installed. To test the clinical feasibility of this virtual US investigation, we installed the device in a peripheral hospital and in our US unit. The transfer of the volume (about 10 to 15 MB) could be done with two parallel Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines with a conduction capacity of 128 KB/s. In this basic assessment, the transmission of US volumes of patients proved to be easy in the acquisition, quick in off-line transmission and reliable in off-line re-evaluation of the data.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
