问题 Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient -- no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf (现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response -- especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.
But there is one problem.  CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.
选项 A、personal data assistance
B、standardized symptoms of a patient
C、real physiological data from a patient
D、transmitted complex medical images
答案C
解析 本题问“远程诊断的基本依据是什么?”第二段谈到，Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example．Increasingly，however，remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on re- al physiological data from the actual patient．也就是说，在线医生根据标准化症状提供医疗咨询，而远程诊断将以病人的生理数据为基础的。故[C]“病人的生理数据”正确。[A]“个人敷据助理(设备)”。PDA是实施远程诊断的设施基础，不是其诊断看病的基本依据。[B]“病人的标准化的症状”。这是在线医生为病人诊治的基础，不是远程诊断的基础。[D]“传递的复杂的医学图像”。从第四段第一句可知目前宽带成为远程医疗在世界范围内传递复杂医疗影像的一个制约因素，而不是远程诊断的基础。
