Which statement related to telehealth technology is correct?
1. A DTV system may be used to transmit diagnostic images for third-party consultation.
2. Because international audio and visual standards are inconsistent, there is little international communication.
3. A frame-per-second rate of 10 provides acceptable diagnostic imagery for consultation.
4. Broad bandwidth of 384 kilobits and 30 frames per second is needed for diagnostic image interpretation.
4
Rationale: Telehealth needs a broad bandwidth of 384 kilobits and 30 frames per second (FPS) for diagnostic image interpretation. The higher the FPS, the greater the resolution, which provides the best imaging results. DTV systems may not be able to handle the needed bandwidth.
