An integrated television and real-time ultrasonic imaging system.
A mechanical sector scanning ultrasonic imaging system was integrated with a video character generator and an infrared sensitve television camera to add patient data and scanner position information to a recorded ultrasonic image. A permanent record is made by recording the final composite image on video tape together with simultaneous audio of examiner's comments during examination. This has facilitated both the interpretation of scans and the relocation of the scanner on successive procedures.
