Abstract

In medical applications, the cooperation work using computer network is in the spotlight as next generation technology, because it offers sharing of equipments, knowledge of specialists, and data and surmounts the limitations of geographical position and time. We present a prototype of telepresent surgical simulation system in this treatise. It is a telemedicine system using volume image, which is reconstructed from radiological images such as MRI and CT. It is used as a tool for surgical simulation among telepresent doctors. It provides the functions of conference control, volume reconstruction and manipulation, and multimedia database management among one server and multi-clients through high-speed network. It is implemented on Unix workstation using X-windows and C language, TCP/IP protocol and UNiSQL as DBMS.
