Telemedicine Imaging Collaboration System with Virtual Common Information Space

The computerization of the clinical record and the realization of the multimedia has brought improvement of the medical service in medical facilities. It is very important for the patients to obtain comprehensible informed consent. Therefore, the doctor should plainly explain the purpose and the content of the diagnoses and treatments for the patient. We propose and design a Telemedicine Imaging Collaboration System which presents a three dimensional medical image as Xray CT, MRI with stereoscopic image by using virtial common infomation space and operating the image remotely. This system can offer a comprehensible three-dimensional image of the diseased part. Therefore, the doctor and the patient can easily understand it, depending on the their demand. In this paper, we described the examination situation of the system design
