Abstract

The design and implementation of Web-based Medical Image Archiving and Communication System for Teleimaging which was developed using software such as Borland C++ Builder 5.0, MyDAC, PHP, Apache and MySQL for image acquisition system, image viewer and web-based information system. The system provides the following facilities: (1) Image acquisition system can connect and display medical image signal from endoscope in real-time and it can save single frame in .bmp, .jpg, .jpg2, .avi and .dcm file format into database system. (2) Image viewer is developed for DICOM viewing and image processing based on local contrast enhancement, adaptive interpolation technique, colour transformation and cine loop. (3) Web-based information system developed under a cooperation effort between Rangsit University and Hospital. It presents a set of tools that allow physician to manipulate and annotate images. The results shown that the system enables physician to store, display, retrieve and transmit medical images throughout interfaces that are used to present data to the user via a choice of viewing tools.
