Abstract
The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a system and method for real time evaluation of ultrasound video images taken at a first local location and evaluated at a second remote location. The system transmits a continuous live video feed from a veterinary ultrasound at the first location to a viewer at the remote location for real time study, review, and collaboration. In the method, the ultrasound video images are converted from analog ultrasound video to digital ultrasound video, where the digital ultrasound video is processed into multiple streams and transmitted across multiple broadband channels, each channel carrying a different stream. The multiple streams are aggregated into a reconstituted video and displayed for evaluation at the remote location.
