Cellphones used for medical imaging?

A team of engineers at the University of California at Berkeley has developed a technique for transmitting medical images via cellphones.

This potentially could bring medical imaging to the 'three-quarters of the world's population which has no access to ultrasounds, X-rays, magnetic resonance images, and other medical imaging technology.'

The lead researcher said that this new system would make imaging technology inexpensive and accessible in non-industrialized countries.
