1. An imaging system comprising:
- an acquisition workstation comprising;
means for acquiring an echographic image and generating a digital image formed by a three-dimensional matrix from echographic sectional planes of said echographic image;
means for transmitting a two dimensional section of said digital image to a diagnostic workstation in response to manipulation of a probe disposed at the diagnostic workstation, said diagnostic workstation disposed remotely from a subject;
said diagnostic workstation comprising;
said probe and means for referencing positions on a dummy;
echographic display means connected to the means for referencing positions;
means for performing a virtual echographic examination of said digital image with said probe to select any two-dimensional sectional plan from said digital image;
means for expert assessment including a module for permitting the transfer of interactive audio and visual content between the acquisition workstation and an expert at the diagnostic station; and
means for transmitting control data between said acquisition workstation and said diagnostic workstation, said control data allowing a user to select, on each workstation, a sectional plan to be visualized.
