Hi-res X-ray image sent through Vodafone's 5G network

A Hungarian electrical engineering student has become the first in the country to send a high-resolution X-ray image electronically through a 5G network with the support of medical device producer Innomed Medical, Vodafone and the Hungarian media authority NMHH. The innovative data transfer initiated by Robert Varga of Gyor's Szechenyi Istvan University is set to open up "new horizons" in distance diagnostics, Innomed president Endre Devai told a press conference on Tuesday. Devai called Varga's project "vital" for the quick medical analysis of X-ray images. Janka Aranyos Borcs, the director-general of NMHH, noted that 5G mobile networks are capable of transferring data at speeds that had not been possible until now.
