EUROMED-visualisation suites for medical imaging

Abstract

EUROMED is a ]European Commission fundedthree year project beginning with phase I in January 1996.The overall aim of EUROMED is to collaboratively exploit, combine and support HPCIY activities to enhance and standardise visualisation techniques to be useid in telemedicine applications. Fir:stly, EUROMED will crcate a hierarchical telemedicine network throughout Europe and Ex-Soviet Union countries linking isolated medica1 sites with specialised clinics and HPCN centres. Secondly, EUROMED will develop a hierarchical telemedical visualisation suite of packages incorporating, superimposing and enhancing presently used image modalities such as CT, MRI, Angiography, PET and SPECT and newer techniques such as Ultrasound diffraction tomography.
