Abstract
An imaging system, having: an imaging data acquisition device; a remote image reconstruction and data processing facility; and a wireless data transfer to transmit raw data from the data acquisition device to the remote facility. At the facility, the raw data is processed to prepare a diagnostic image that can be transmitted to an expert or non-expert, or transmitted back to the display of the wireless data transfer device.
Claims27
A method of providing a patient with medical imaging technology, comprising:
- providing an ultrasound transducer and a wireless data transfer device at the patient's site;
- acquiring raw two-dimensional ultrasound data from the patient using the ultrasound transducer;
- transferring the raw two-dimensional ultrasound data from the ultrasound transducer to the wireless data transfer device;
- transmitting the raw two-dimensional ultrasound data to a remote processing server with the wireless data transfer device;
- and
- constructing a three-dimensional ultrasound image from the raw two-dimensional ultrasound data.
A method of providing a three-dimensional image, comprising:
- acquiring raw imaging data from a patient with a data acquisition device;
- transferring the acquired raw data to a wireless data transfer device;
- using the wireless data transfer device to transmit the raw imaging data to a remote processing server;
- and
- constructing a three-dimensional image from the raw data at the remote processing server.
A system for providing three-dimensional ultrasound data, comprising:
- an ultrasound transducer;
- a cellular phone operatively coupled to the ultrasound transducer;
- and
- a remote processing server that is linked to the cellular phone in order to receive raw two-dimensional ultrasound data from the cellular phone and construct a three-dimensional ultrasound image based on the raw two-dimensional ultrasound data.
