Abstract

We have developed a tele-diagnosis system of echography (tele-echography system) to control the echographic diagnosis robot. The examiner moves it by handling a control device apart from the patient and obtaining the echogram and the scene of the patient. The places of the examiner and the patient are connected by network. Remote control was realized by Object Request Broker technique. We verified possibility of our system for clinical use by the experiment. The robot was stable to slight body movement. Remote diagnosis of echogram was possible with sufficient image quality after a skilled examiner got used to control the robot. The adult patient never felt any discomfort to the robot. Since required bandwidth of this system was at most 1 Mbps, we confirmed the ability of this system for mobile robotic telemedicine.
