To meet the demand for high speed transmission of image, efficient image storage, remote treatment an efficient image compression technique is essential. Wavelet theory has great potential in medical image compression. Most of the commercial medical image viewers do not provide scalability in image compression. This paper discusses a medical application that contains a viewer for digital imagin...

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to identify and consolidate literature that describes eHealth tools or innovations currently existing in the field of radiology. Methods: Due to the nature of the subject matter, this paper must be partially based on non-academic literature, such as government documents, documents describing the work of organizations, and opinion pieces or reviews by subj...

Medical imaging uses the advantage of digital technology in imaging and teleradiology. In teleradiology systems large amount of data is acquired, stored and transmitted. A major technology that may help to solve the problems associated with the massive data storage and data transfer capacity is data compression and decompression. There are many methods of image compression available. They are c...

BACKGROUND The model of care for patients with mild-to-moderate head injury and CT-detected lesions that do not require an immediate intervention is a matter of debate. This study compared the effects on outcome of a model based either on observation in a neurosurgical unit (NSU) or in a peripheral hospital (PH), making use of neurosurgical expertise via a teleradiology system. PATIENTS AND M...

Real time collaboration systems, in which participants share multimedia data and applications in real time, have attracted many researchers in recent years. A teleradiology consultation system based on the real time collaboration technology is presented in this paper. Under the platform-independence consideration, Java technologies are employed to construct the system. Applying this system, an ...

One of the many added-value services that can be provided over an integrated teleradiology services network is access to high-performance computing facilities in order to execute computationally intensive image analysis and visualization tasks [1]. Although an enormous amount of work has been devoted in developing medical image processing algorithms and systems, we currently lack a framework th...
