Medical imaging over a network of heterogeneous x-servers

Abstract

Recent advances in electronic imaging and computer graphics have promoted researchers and clinicians to shift their attention from silver halide pictures to digital image acquisition, transmission and storage. Significant obstacles to the smooth interaction among imaging facilities is the lack of true standards among computer architectures and incompatibilities which arise due to personal preferences in the selection of a graphic user interface (GUI). The merging of computer publishing, video, and image processing industries has compounded the confusion regarding image standards. THere now exist of computer configurations and graphics displays. Future success in the application of electronic imaging to visually-intensive health sciences such as pathology and radiology will rely on the capacity to interact effectively across computer networks irrespective of the computer architecture of the participant collaborators. This paper describes the means by which a set of low-cost, heterogeneous computer platforms have been used to provide clinicians and researchers with seamless access to high performance image processing workstations.
