[Automated ultrasonic diagnostic systems for outpatient clinics]

Some ways to improve informative capacity of ultrasonic diagnostic examinations are discussed, and their application in an extended network of outpatient clinics by using the state-of-the-art automated devices, microcomputers and microprocessors in particular, are considered. Possible approaches to automating ultrasonic diagnostic examinations are analysed, and requirements for hardware and software of ultrasonic complexes are specified. A configuration structure of complexes for processing monodimensional and bidimensional echo signals is presented.
