What kinds of medical consultations can a doctor provide just from seeing a patient over video?
Many skin disorders and other externally apparent maladies can be clearly distinguished over the Highway system. In addition, the transmission of CAT and EKG scans, electronic stethoscope readings and videoscopic internal probes can be accomplished. Medical technologists say that high-definition TV, which can be transmitted over the Highway, provides views that are virtually the same as an on-site examination. New tools are being developed to take advantage of the benefits of this technology.
