Abstract

We have conducted tests utilizing super high-definition CRTs (hereafter, referred to as a “super high-definition image system,” or “SHD”: 2048 × 2048 pixels, 24-bit RGB gradation, noninterlace system) for autonomous and distributed medical image database systems. The system is capable of providing six times the image definition of a hi-vision television (HDTV). The aim in designing and testing the system is to enable gigabit network connectivity while displaying images on a DOS-V machine. This paper discusses how we devised an integrated environment for managing and operating distributed an SHD image database to support Telemedicine linking with ATM, with INS-1500, and with dial-up IP connection.
