Fluoroscopic results from the first transmission of radiologic information by earth-satellite link were of diagnostic quality, but because of inadequacies in the sensor, the quality of transmitted radiographs was poorer. Experiments show that the entire gamut of radiologic information could be transmitted in real time from remote to central locations with no distance limitation and at reasonable cost if a satisfactory sensor of radiographic images were constructed to complement existing fluoroscopic capabilities.
