An ultrasound machine was connected to the citywide fiberoptic network and then to our hospital network. Diagnoses made on the basis of 827 obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound examinations performed 7 miles from our institution on patients who underwent direct real-time monitoring via a fiberoptic network were compared with the diagnoses rendered on the real-time assessment. Referring physician satisfaction and network-related problems were monitored. Over a period of 19 months, 630 obstetric and 197 pelvic ultrasound examinations were performed and monitored. The diagnosis made on realtime remote monitoring by the ultrasound radiologist was similar to the diagnosis rendered after review of filmed examinations in all cases. The method was well received by both patients and referring clinicians. There was no fiberoptic network-related downtime. Diagnostic impressions made during remote real-time review are reliable; remote real-time video/voice technology can replace direct hands-on manipulation of the ultrasound transducer by the radiologist for review of remote ambulatory care obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound examinations.
