Abstract: A system for conversion of non-standard video signals to standard video signals for transmission and presentation picks off an internal analog video signals from imaging diagnostic equipment (such as a CAT scanner or MRI equipment), converts it to analog video signal of different, preferably standard format, prints it or stores it, and when desire transmits the reformatted image information to the physician's terminal. Preferably the storage and transmission is in binary digitized form. At a receiving station, the received signal is stored, decoded and applied in appropriate analog vide form to an associated CRT display for reproduction of the diagnostic images. The equipments at both the control site of the diagnostic station and at the remote terminals may constitute PC's (personal computers) plus an additional video monitor.

Abstract: A system for transferring medical diagnostic information from the diagonostic site to remote physicians' stations picks off an internal analog video signal from imaging diagonstic equipment (such as a CAT scanner or MRI equipment), converts it to an analog video signal of different, preferably standard, format, stores it, and when desired transmits the reformatted image information to the physician's terminal. Preferably the storage and transmission is in binary digitized form. At the physician's station, the received signal is stored, decoded and applied in appropriate analog video form to an associated CRT display for reproduction of the diagnostic images.
