Portable imaging system with remote accessibility

摘要

A portable ultrasound imaging system is provided. The system includes a probe for acquiring ultrasound image data. A memory stores the acquired ultrasound image data. A processor generates an image based on the stored ultrasound image data. A presentation layer is provided for remotely accessing the generated image to display the generated image at a remote location.

主权项

1. A portable ultrasound imaging device comprising:
a housing; a display electrically connected to the housing; a probe communicatively coupled to the housing via at least one of a mechanical connection or a wireless connection, the probe configured to acquire ultrasound image data from an object during an ultrasound imaging scan; a memory within the housing, the memory configured to store the ultrasound image data acquired during the scan; one or more processors within the housing the one or more processors configured to access at least a subset of the ultrasound image data stored in the memory in response to a request received from a remote workstation that is remotely located relative to the ultrasound imaging device, the one or more processors further configured to generate at least one ultrasound image on a presentation layer, the at least one ultrasound image generated based on the subset of the ultrasound image date; and a transmitter and receiver electrically connected to the housing, the receiver configured to receive the request from the remote workstation, the transmitter further configured to transmit the presentation layer to the remote workstation such that the at least one ultrasound image is viewable at the remote workstation without transmitting the subset of the ultrasound image data used to generate the at least one ultrasound image, the subset of ultrasound image data remaining stored in the memory.
