Satellite communications system for medical related images
First Claim
1. A satellite communication system for sending high resolution, medically related, static images from one or more remote satellite locations to a central location for diagnostics, said satellite communication system comprising:
- each said one or more remote satellite locations comprising;
means for converting the high resolution images into voltage analog signals;
means for converting the voltage analog signals into narrow bandwidth and low frequency signals;
means for transmitting the narrow bandwidth and low frequency signals to a satellite; and
said central location comprising;
means for receiving the narrow bandwidth and low frequency signals;
means for converting the received narrow bandwidth and low frequency signals back into the voltage analog signals;
means for converting the voltage analog signals into digital signals;
means for converting the digital signals into high resolution, digitized, medically related images;
means for transmitting diagnostics of the high resolution, medically related images, in voice or readable form, from the central location to the transmitting remote satellite location.
