1. A system for medical detection and treatment, said system comprising:
- a plurality of treatment and/or detection devices, each device including a radio interface; and
a central, computer-assisted receiving, sending and evaluating unit;
wherein the devices exchange data with each other and with the receiving, sending and evaluating unit via wireless radio transmission within the context of a medical treatment;
wherein said receiving, sending and evaluating unit (i) carries out recognition, regulation and control routines based on the exchanged data and (ii) transmits evaluated data; and
wherein one or more of the following devices is/are provided for transmitting video or image signals;
a means for compressing the video or image signal data;
a means for converting said video or image signal data into data signals of a small volume; and
/or a means for splitting up said video or image signal data and transmitting portions thereof in parallel using multi-channel RF transmission connections.
