The system features a robotic arm, an ultrasound machine and video-conferencing technology that connects the patient with an expert at two separate locations, providing more access to expert diagnostic imaging. It’s the first technology of its kind deployed in the U.S. for clinical use. Experts in France and the RWJUH and RWJMS cardiovascular team, led by Partho Sengupta, MD, FACC, recently tested the system, performing several hours of transAtlantic diagnostic ultrasound imaging in real time over a routine 4G cellular network.
