Abstract:
1. A method for conducting ultrasound interrogation of a medium, comprising: transmitting a non-beamformed ultrasound wave from a first transducer into the medium; receiving a first echoed non-beamformed ultrasound wave from the medium at a second transducer; converting the first received non-beamformed echoed ultrasound waves into a first digital data; receiving a second echoed non-beamformed ultrasound wave from the medium at a third transducer; converting the second received non-beamformed echoed ultrasound waves into a second digital data; multiplexing the first digital data and the second digital data; wherein the receiving of the first and second echoed non-beamformed ultrasound wave is performed at an acquisition frame rate of at least 17 frames per second; wirelessly transmitting the first and second digital data to a relatively remote location, wherein the transmitting to the relatively remote location is performed at a transmission frame rate at least as fast as the acquisition frame rate; receiving the first and second digital data; demultiplexing the received first and second digital data; and combining the first and second digital data at the relatively remote location.
