Abstract :
Remote diagnosis can be realized utilizing the communication network. A master-slave type remote medical system has been developed for the diagnosis of the shoulder disease such as dialysis related amyloid arthropathy (DRAA) by ultrasonographic images. In this paper, we propose a method of decomposing and reconstructing required functions in the ultrasound diagnosis to construct the remote ultrasound diagnostic system. Proper position, orientation, and contact force between the ultrasound probe and the affected part of the patient are required to acquire proper diagnostic images in this diagnosis. Safety and manipulability are also required to construct the remote medical system
