TeleUS: design and implementation of telesonography

Published:01 April 2000Publication History

ABSTRACT

This poster deals with telesonography. Telesonography is real-time video collaboration for remote ultrasound examinations. We present here a generalized design of an interactive videoconferencing system that supports the various fields of ultrasound expertise. The work here focuses on integrating such a system in the demanding environment of ultrasound examinations.Our design includes a logical model, open architecture, and appropriate user interface. This design was implemented in the TeleUS prototype, tested in a series of simulations and experiments, and proved adequate.
