Remote Ultrasound Diagnostic System
Ultrasound diagnosis is generally employed for its high level of safety and ease of use. The remote medical system for ultrasound medical diagnostics (RUDS) we developed enables medical doctors to send and receive information such as diagnostic images, providing essentially the same level of medical diagnostic services as conventional diagnostic systems at remote locations.
