Abstract

Telemedicine allows patient information rather than the patient to be transported to the doctor. Through analysis of one existing telemedicine system that supports neurosurgical consultation it has been determined that many routine questions of the expert specialist could be handled by a knowledge system. Rather than using expert systems technology, a specific application of digital library technology, the synthetic interview is proposed. Synthetic interviews involve novel integration of language and image understanding technologies
