The 2019 Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) broke out in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and spread throughout the world. Early screening and early diagnosis play key roles in prevention and management of the epidemic. Attention should also be paid to the infection of health workers and shortage of medical resources in high-risk areas. Here, we report two cases of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and evaluated by robotic ultrasound based on 5G-powered technology 700 km east of Wuhan. We here show the advantages of this kind of remote ultrasound scan, which could become a method for the diagnosis and assessment of COVID-19.
2019 年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)于 2019 年 12 月在中国武汉爆发,并蔓延至全球。早期筛查和早期诊断对疫情的防控至关重要。同时也应关注高危地区医务人员感染和医疗资源短缺的问题。在这里,我们报告了两例患者,这两例患者位于武汉以东 700 公里处,通过基于 5G 技术的远程机器人超声诊断 COVID-19。我们展示了这种远程超声扫描的优势,它可能成为 COVID-19 诊断和评估的一种方法。
