Abstract

We present a foundation for using reconfigurable and adaptive systems in distributed services medicine to improve the computational power available to physicians. This power can be realized in medical image processing, enhancement and classification. Adaptive systems will become commodity items in the near future and will be modified by mobile agents. These transportation agents will bring the data, code, hardware, or any combination to the machine for processing. This will open tools to every physician that were formerly only available to advance-care institutions with powerful workstations or supercomputers
