Radiology images and ultrasound images are black-and-white and use intensity, texture and shape-based analysis to identify diseases. Multimedia images are also used in remote care to analyze the patient's condition, stress-level including fall detection and postures. Medical images also include the charts used by physicians to mark the disease-affected area of the patient during diagnosis. The use of medical images has been growing rapidly. A remote surgery or history-based diagnosis requires storing, retrieving, editing and transmitting the multimedia objects.
Realtime telemedicine
Published in Richard Wootton, John Craig, Victor Patterson, Introduction to Telemedicine, 2017
Remote transmission of taste is theoretically possible, but there is no obvious demand for it in telemedicine (diabetes mellitus is diagnosed biochemically these days). On the other hand, transmission of touch would allow remote examination (e.g. palpation) to be performed without the aid of an amanuensis. Having to rely on someone else to perform the physical part of a remote examination is often said to be a restriction, although in practice it appears to cause remarkably little trouble. Haptic feedback devices, which convey the sensation of touch, are under development for remote surgery, so suitable technology may become available in due course.4
Medicolegal Investigation of Deaths

Answer A is incorrect. Since there is no apparent direct relationship with the remote surgery and the ulceration, the manner of death would not be considered accident. If a perforation occurred at the time of surgery, accident may be considered.

Virtual platforms have a wider scope for two-way exchange, with different forms of telecommunication or telementoring, which also exist with robotic surgical interfaces, both for pedagogical and delivery purposes [19–22]. These systems can display real-time information in the virtual space, for example OCT data, hazard alerts along with relaying preceptor instructions [23]. The latter could include a video overlay demonstrating where to mobilize instruments or areas to avoid. Virtual interfaces may also be one gateway into ophthalmic robotics where additional degrees of freedom, stability and machine augmentation could be realized. Feasibility and proof of concept studies for robot-assisted cataract surgery [24] penetrating keratoplasty [25], corneal laceration [26], pterygium surgery [27,28], and amniotic membrane transplantation [29] have been demonstrated and as the field progresses tremor filtering, remote surgery and smart surgical tools (able to act as a virtual assistant) may all be added to improve performance and reduce error rates [21,30,31].
Risk factors for enucleation or evisceration in endophthalmitis

Endophthalmitis is an inflammatory condition of the intraocular contents usually due to infection. In cases of infectious endophthalmitis, the source may be either endogenous (from the systemic circulation) or exogenous, due to recent or remote surgery, trauma, or contiguous spread from a superficial infection. Regardless of the cause, infectious endophthalmitis is an ophthalmic emergency because of its potential for catastrophic effects on the eye.
