Abstract

We report here on a study of creating medical an image library comprised of simple but digitized gastrointestinal video-scope images, which were digitally compressed using MPEG-1 compression, and on the use of this library for clinical and educational applications. We have designed and installed a test-bed database (WWW) for gastrointestinal video-scope images linking with ISDN at 128 Kbps enables Internet access. This paper discusses its development, operation, problems, and educational and clinical use. A test-bed operation of the database was conducted by going on-line on the Internet and through an ISDN circuit (point-to-point connection) at a speed of 128 Kbps. This dynamic image database proved to be effective in diagnostic imaging for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. It also proved to be useful for improving the clinical levels of geographically isolated physicians.
