7. Conclusions
Ultrasound experts,
who are scarce and not always on hand when
needed
have now the tool and the possibility
to examine patients remotely
from anyware
and thus perform a complete diagnosis
without being
in the same geographical position
with the patient
who can be stationary or mobile.
THANK YOU
for your attention
