Rationale And Objectives:
A radiologist practicing remote ultrasound occasionally needs to review a case in real time before releasing the patient. The authors conducted a pilot study to evaluate one solution in which the radiologist views real-time images on a video monitor while conversing with the technologist via a headset telephone.
Methods:
Two experienced ultrasonographers and five technologies participated in a 5-week pilot study in adjacent rooms.
Results:
Subjective assessment indicated that the system could function well enough for use at a remote site.
Conclusions:
Although this technology appears effective, an ongoing training environment is recommended.

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...
