Organization of the remote access to tomographic data through a slow communications link

Abstract

Consideration is given to the problem of organization of the remote access to tomographic data obtained as a result of the investigation on the computerized tomograph through a slow communications link. The proposed access strategy together with the developed and realized method of tomographic data compression makes it possible to help users (physicians, scientists, and etc.) work with remote tomographic data, e.g., using the Internet. This, in its turn, opens up vast possibilities for using the data of tomographic investigations for conducting medical consultations "at a distance," videoconferences, organizing network seminars for medical staff training, and etc.
