Automated ultrasonic diagnostic systems for outpatient clinics

Some ways to improve informative capacity of ultrasonic diagnostic examinations are discussed, and their application in an extended network of outpatient clinics by using the state-of-the-art automated devices, microcomputers and microprocessors in particular, are considered. Possible approaches to automating ultrasonic diagnostic examinations are analysed, and requirements for hardware and software of ultrasonic complexes are specified. A configuration structure of complexes for processing monodimensional and bidimensional echo signals is presented.
