Teleradiology via narrow-band integrated services digital network (N-ISDN) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Image Compression
Journal of Digital Imaging - 1992
Tóm tắt
The importance of remote access to both radiological images and medical information has stimulated many demonstration projects that use a variety of telecommunications providers' offerings. Teleradiology, through modest cost channels, can achieve adequate response times using a combination of narrow-band integrated services digital network (N-ISDN) and data compression. A demonstration project, developed in collaboration with Southwestern Bell Technology Resources, Inc, uses the aggregate bandwidth of two B channels (achieving a rate of 120 kilobits per second) and a block-oriented discrete cosine transform compression/decompression implementation based on the Joint Photographic Experts Group Standard for Still Image Compression. System response measurements for an Inquiry and Display Station accessing the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology's Radiology Image and Information Management Testbed via the N-ISDN connection show response times to be within 20 seconds. Viewing applications have been shown at sites within St Louis and at Radiological Society of North America, 1990, in Chicago.
