A Tele-conferncing System for Medical Dignosis based on 3D-medicl Images

In this paper, we describe an abvanced medical diagnostic system using multimedia technologies in netwok environments. In the system, docotors in remote sites perorm medicl diagnosis by exchanging information about patients and 3-D medicl images of malfunctioning body parts, which are reconstructed from 2-D images such as MRI, CT, CR, Angio. The diagnosic conferencing system controls the conferencing process by exchanging audio, information about patients, 3-D medical images and control data. 3-D medicl images are reconstructed by a ray casting method that uses an nalytical integration. Medical databae conists of absic information about patients, Information about medicl images, users, results of dianosis.
