Mobile ultrasound diagnostic instrument and system using wireless video transmission

摘要

An ultrasound diagnostic system includes a battery powered mobile instrument which includes an ultrasound transducer for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves and signal processing circuitry for processing the received ultrasound waves and formatting video signals which drive a modulator which encodes the video signals as RF analog waveforms by wireless transmission. A remote console unit receives the transmitted RF analog signals and further processes the video signals for display on a monitor. Thus, the processing and display capabilities of a larger remote console is combined with the mobile diagnostic instrument for enhanced signal processing and diagnostics.
