With the increasing availability of workstations and networking facilities, desktop conferencing systems have moved from experimental prototypes in research laboratories to the user community. One particularly attractive application is the use of multimedia conferencing system for real-time cooperative by physicians at different sites. This paper describes the design of such a system, with special emphasis on its flexible conferencing capabilities and tools to facilitate medical diagnosis.<>

This paper presents a new method of retinal image registration. The method is based on representing a segmented reference image as an adaptive adjacency graph. The graph consists of a network of active contours, nodes where contours are connected, regions outlined by the contours and their full adjacency relationship. The contours in the graph correspond to retinal vessels or other curvilinear features. The registration is performed by placing the graph on the image to be registered and allowing it to adapt to the image data. The contours move under combined effect of internal and external forces. The internal forces represent contour internal energy. The external forces correspond to image data and to connectivity constraints imposed on the contours. Results of registration obtained for retinal images are presented.<>

A new 3D technique for the human spontaneous intracerebral brain hemorrhage (ICH) region segmentation and quantification is presented in this paper. The ICH primary region segmentation algorithm uses the K-means histogram-based clustering algorithm. The ICH edema region segmentation algorithm employs an iterative morphological processing of the ICH brain data. A volume rendering technique is used for the effective 3D visualization of ICH segmented regions. A computer program is developed for use in the human spontaneous ICH study involving large number of patients. Some experimental measurements and visualization results are presented which were computed on real ICH patient brain data.<>

A video image tracking system for the micromotion analysis of the total hip replacement (THR) design is presented in this paper. Micromotion with optimal amount of translation and rotation is crucial for the ingrowth of bone tissue on the prosthesis surface. By sampling the input sequential images from the video camera, low-level image processing technique is applied to get the information about the micromotion on the bone/implant interface.<>

Detailed, well organized user interface design specifications are essential to assure a smooth translation between design and implementation. Loosely defined specifications can result in the user interface being implemented differently than intended by the designer and may cause time consuming, costly modifications late in development. A good specification can facilitate the implementation process and reduce the likelihood of having to make modifications. This paper describes different approaches to developing specifications and lists the recommended contents for a design specification document.<>

Faced with the task of submitting new drug applications and then waiting for the review process to end, a number of firms are participating in computer assisted new drug applications (CANDAs), the information technology exchange experiment between the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and major pharmaceutical makers. The Merck Medical CANDA is an attempt to improve the situation by developing a PC-based, user-friendly system, under MS Windows 3.0, that facilitates quick access, review, assimilation, and presentation of clinical trial data, for the in-house medical and statistical review of the data, as well as for use at the FDA.<>

A quantitative, multi-function treatment risk analysis system is being developed by the MEDAS project group. Two main purposes are: to provide a computer-based decision support tool in treatment decision making for practicing physicians; to provide an effective medical decision analysis training tool for medical school students as well as for physicians who are interested in acquiring the skills in this area. The fundamental methodology used in this system is based on Weinstein's quantitative approach (M.C. Weinstein, H.V. Fineberg, 1980) and the concept of value of clinical information. Three different function models in this system have been constructed. They are the automated consultation model, the user self-consultation model, and the training model.<>

This paper describes an automated Progress Note System running in the diabetic clinic of the VA Medical Center in North Chicago, Illinois. The organization of the authors progress notes is based on Weed's problem-orientated approach to medical records (L. Weed, 1970). The system helps the physician to formulate a problem list and then, for each problem, it assists in the collection of subjective and objective data and the generation of assessments and plans. The Progress Note System uses data downloaded from the VA's MUMPS database and it interfaces to the Oracle database maintained for research purposes by the diabetes clinic. The reminders are based on the American Diabetes Association's position statement on standards of medical care.<>

A fairly recent development in treatment for the profoundly deaf is the cochlear implant. A cochlear implant is an electronic device that partially restores hearing via electrical stimulation of the inner ear. The only cochlear implant currently approved by the Federal Drug Administration for use in both children and adults is the Nucleus 2 Multiple Channel Cochlear Implant manufactured by Cochlear Corporation of Australia. To date, more than 160 patients (adults and children) have undergone cochlear implantation with the Nucleus device at the University of Michigan. The authors discuss criterion for implant candidacy, provide a brief description of the Nucleus device, discuss results being obtained by patients and provide a brief summary of current research trends and needs.<>

Two modules of MEDAS, the LOG program and the electronic patient tracking board program, are running on this LAN. The network itself is composed of PCs, Macintoshes, Novell Netware, and an Oracle Server and is designed to be fault tolerant. The system handles about 250 visits per day well and more than 100000 patients have been logged in by the system. MEDAS (the Medical Emergency Decision Assistance System) is a medical expert.<>
