Despite the existing medical infrastructure being limited in terms of interoperability, amount multimedia transferred over network and shared through various channels increases rapidly. In search consultations with colleagues, professionals consent their patients, usually exchange multimedia, mainly form images, by using standard instant messaging services which utilize lossy compression algori...

This paper presents a unified mathematical derivation of the asymptotic behaviour of the three main forms of partial directed coherence (PDC). Numerical examples are used to contrast PDC, gPDC (generalized PDC) and iPDC (information PDC) as to meaning and applicability and, more importantly, to show their essential statistical equivalence insofar as connectivity inference is concerned.

This study determined to what extent morphological processing of spoken inflected and derived words is attention-independent. To answer these questions EEG and MEG responses were recorded from healthy participants while they were presented with spoken Finnish inflected, derived, and monomorphemic words. In the non-attended task, the participants were instructed to ignore the incoming auditory s...

Introduction In Pathology, the development of slide scanners offers the possibility to acquire whole slide images (WSI) from specimen stored on glass slides and this is the beginning of a new paradigm in this medical domain. Two DICOM supplements were defined by the DICOM WG26 in order to store and display such big amount of data. These WSI images are mainly used for teaching, for research and ...

SUMMARY This paper describes standards which seek to integr ate security, such as authentication and encryption, into the domain of h ealth care. It also proposes several concepts according to these standards. There are tw o standards which have been developed in the USA. One of these has found accep tance from software developers in Germany. This standard, called DICOM (digital im aging and co...

The Medical image database is growing day by day [1]. Most of the medical images are stored in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format. There are various categories of medical images such as CT scan, XRay, Ultrasound, Pathology, MRI, Microscopy, etc [2]. Physicians compare previous and current medical images associated patients to provide right treatment. Medical Imaging i...
