Abstract :
TraumaStation II / TeleConsult is an active diagnostic, portable 3D ultrasound imaging device for medical professionals, which is able to acquire, process, display and transfer two- and three- dimensional medical images in a telemedical environment. The term “telemedical” here refers to the ability to send and receive image data either offline or in an online mode via a network connection. In the offline mode the user defines a message that may include text and image data and selects the destination. In the online mode two TraumaStation devices / TeleConsult clients are connected and share the same view on the image data enabling the live discussion of a certain case. For data security TraumaStation II / TeleConsult uses validated encryption and authenticity mechanisms. The image display part is capable of loading two and three dimensional DICOM 3 images and volume files. The software provides image display and rendering routines as well as measurement and annotation tools. The device is ready for field deployment in a military context.
