Abstract

A monitoring system includes a transducer and a wireless interface. The transducer receives ultrasonic imaging signals reflected from a target object and provides imaging data based on the received imaging signals. The wireless interface communicates the imaging data over a wireless communications network to a host device. The transducer may include a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) ultrasound transducer probe, a transnasal TEE (TNE) ultrasound transducer probe, or a transthoracic transducer.
