A WEB-BASED MEDICAL IMAGE COLLABORATIVE PROCESSING SYSTEM USING MOBILE DEVICES

Flexibility and timeliness of medical image collaborative diagnosis offered by mobile devices play an irreplaceable role in emergency situations. However collaborative processing for mobile devices with low storage and processing capabilities on Internet is still one of the biggest challenges to support this. Consequently, this paper presents a self-adaptive transmission approach for web-based synchronized collaborative processing among different terminals like mobile devices and desktop computers. Meanwhile, functions of graphic mark-up and region of interest (ROI) are provided to help physicians analyze lesions collaboratively and observe specific area clearly. Finally, this paper evaluates the prototype system using several kinds of medical data sets, which demonstrates the good performance of our system.
