A system which includes at least one ultrasound data collection device
which is programmable to carry out a specific ultrasound procedure on a
selected part of a human body of a patient. The resulting ultrasound data
is transmitted via a local server at the site of the data collection
device to the internet and from there to a web database server which
processes the raw ultrasound data and provides application-specific
information, such as a three-dimensional model, which can be used for
diagnostic interpretation of the body part imaged by the ultrasound
suitable for use in the treatment of the patient.
