[Communication and integration of medical documents for the teleconference use. An outcome of the BERMED project]. / Kommunikation und Integration medizinischer Dokumente für Telekonferenz-Anwendungen: Ein Ergebnis aus dem Projekt BERMED.

The collaboration between physicians is supported in the BERMED project by implementing the remote access to distributed patient data and the realisation of computer-based medical conferencing. This requires the integration of the multimedia data in form of a meta-patient record for our medical application systems. These applications are supported by a distributed information management promoting access to different information systems, imaging modalities and digital archival storage systems. The features of image processing are concerned with quantification, segmentation and 3-D-visualisation to obtain additional information. This paper gives an overview of the actual state of the teleconferencing system in radiology.
