Patent ID: 8526573

Claim:
A diagnostic imaging system comprising: a remote diagnostic imaging station including a diagnostic imaging device, a communications interface, and a user interface, the remote diagnostic imaging station configured to be connected to a packet-switched network; and a diagnostic imaging control station separate from the remote diagnostic imaging station and communicatively connected to the remote diagnostic imaging station through the packet-switched network, the diagnostic imaging control station configured to generate a position control signal, the position control signal associated with a physical position of at least a portion of the diagnostic imaging device, transmit the position control signal through the packet-switched network to the remote diagnostic imaging station, generate a diagnostic imaging procedure instruction signal, the diagnostic imaging procedure instruction signal instructing a patient located at the remote diagnostic imaging station to change position, transmit the diagnostic imaging procedure instruction signal through the packet-switched network to the remote diagnostic imaging station, generate a diagnostic imaging capture signal, the diagnostic imaging capture signal operable to initiate capture of a diagnostic image, transmit the diagnostic imaging capture signal through the packet-switched network to the remote diagnostic imaging station, and display the captured diagnostic image.
