Purpose:
To design a ?low cost? tele-imaging platform allowing a real time ultrasound tele-expertise, a delayed ultrasound tele-
diagnostic and a tele-radiology between isolated peripherals hospitals and University Hospital center (Expert center).
Materials and Methods:
A system of communication via internet (Camera IP or remote control software) transferring ultrasound
and background videos between 2 centers, allows a real time tele-expertise if there is a junior echographist at the isolated center. In
the case there is no echographist at the isolated center, an original 3D program of reconstruction allows a delayed tele-diagnostic
with a non sonography operator (midwife, nurse, technician). To locate the probe on the organ acoustic window, the novice
operator uses cartography of the acoustic windows established by our laboratory (UMPS-TOURS). A remote control software
allows teleradiology (Conventional Radiography, Mammography and Computer Tomography) even with low connection flow.
Results:
The system was tested on 50 patients between CHR TSEVIE in Togo (40 km from Lom�-Togo and 4500 km from Tours-
France) and CHU Campus at Lom� and CHU Trousseau in Tours with an internet flow rate around 1 Mbps (Camera IP) and 512
kbps (remote control software). A real time tele-expertise was successfully performed with a delay of 1.5 seconds approximately.
A delayed ultrasound tele-diagnostic was also performed with satisfactory results. The radiology data of the isolated center were
well visualized at the expert center.
Conclusion:
The present system of tele-imaging requiring only a regular and inexpensive infrastructure, offers a major
opportunity of telemedicine in particular for developing countries.
