Claims20
An apparatus for transmitting a sonogram to a remote location comprising:
- a wearable ultrasonic array of transducers positioned over a portion of the patient's body, said array transmission electronically steered and focused for creating a three dimensional representation of a portion of a patient's anatomy, said representation transmitted to a remote location.
An apparatus for transmitting a sonogram to a remote location comprising:
- an array of ultrasonic transducers contained in a wearable glove positioned over a portion of the patient's body, said array transmission electronically steered and focused for creating a three dimensional representation of a portion of a patient's anatomy, said representation transmitted to a remote medical location.
A method for remote medical diagnosing by medical personnel comprising:
- fixing a wearable ultrasonic two-dimensional array over a part of a patient anatomy, electronically scanning the anatomy using the array to create a three-dimensional representation of the part of the anatomy, transmitting the data, converting the transmitted data to an image of the anatomy.
