## Abstract

The invention relates to a system for displaying a medical diagnostic result, comprising at least one diagnostic device having a data output outputting electronic data which represent a diagnostic result that has been obtained using the diagnostic device, and further comprising an electronic data line connection which directs the electronic data to a display device and that has a data line radio link having a radio transmitter and a radio receiver of a mobile radio network, the display device being designed to display the diagnostic result without delay, and the at least one diagnostic device and the radio transmitter being accommodated in a transport device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for displaying a medical diagnostic result, the system comprising at least three diagnostic instruments of at least three different modalities, each diagnostic instrument having a data output which outputs electronic data representing a diagnostic result established by the diagnostic instrument, wherein at least one instrument is a non-imaging instrument;
the system comprising a radio transmitter in communication over a data line radio link with a radio receiver of a cellular network, the system communicating electronic data comprising diagnostic results to a server and a remote display device via an electronic data line connection over the radio line radio link without time delay; and
the system optionally further comprising a computer;
the system further comprising a portable and transportable self-supporting transport container;
wherein the diagnostic instruments and the radio transmitter and optionally the computer are arranged in the portable and transportable self-supporting transport container in the form of a rolling case having a handle; a top cover which opens to form a lectern on the transport container; one or more front doors which can be opened and closed and which enclose a plurality of interior drawers which open in a slideable manner; and fasteners on an interior surface of the one or more front doors for affixing diagnostic equipment;
the front of the top cover closes flush with the top of the front door, and the front doors and the top cover enclose the drawers and the platform where the computer rests; and
the diagnostic instruments and/or the computer are arranged in operable fashion in the opened transport container.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the computer is a PC, a notebook, or a tablet computer, and the radio transmitter is a cellular transmitter located in the computer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the transport container has shell elements which are connected to one another in pivotable fashion by means of joints for opening and closing purposes.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system according to claim 3, wherein the diagnostic instruments, the radio transmitter, and/or the computer are arranged in two or more of the shell elements.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system according to claim 4, wherein the transport container, when opened, stands in an inherently stable fashion on a substantially horizontal, planar floor.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the cellular transmitter is a UMTS data card.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the different modalities are selected from the group consisting of ultrasound imaging, electrical signals, light signals, air flows, blood flows, and dry lab tests.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the transport container comprises a self-supporting rolling case having an extendable handle and a pivotably-connected top cover.
