Abstract:
1. A system for generating application-specific medical ultrasound information, comprising: a local ultrasound data collection assembly to carry out an ultrasound scan of a selected part of the human body of a patient at a given location by an operator and to produce raw, substantially unprocessed, ultrasound information therefrom; a data transmission system for transmitting said raw, substantially unprocessed ultrasound information produced by the assembly to a processing location physically remote from the data collection assembly location, without the ultrasound information proceeding through a local processor at the site of the data collection assembly; and a processor at the remote location for automatically processing, without human intervention, said transmitted information sufficiently to produce an application-specific medical analysis of the selected body part therefrom, wherein the medical analysis is then transmitted back to a medical practitioner associated with the patient, wherein the medical analysis includes information suitable for use in the treatment of the patent.
