The processor and network technologies are removing the old barriers to the visualization applications. For digital ultrasound imaging, the increased network speeds will replace the frame-grabbed, image imaging systems in favor of full-motion, uncompressed video. The latter system provides the sonographer with valuable feedback from a radiologist that can be incorporated into the study in real-time. This paper deals with the challenges and methods of implementing such a system over an ATM network, both in a local area network as well as a wide-area network.
