Far infrared medical image database on World Wide Web

摘要

In order to set up international standards for medical infrared thermography the authors have been developing an international communication tool on the World Wide Web (WWW) named Biomedical Thermology Homepage (http://biomed.poli-sci.saitama-u.ac.jp/bmth/). The methodology and system concept have been reported (I. Fujimasa et al., 1996). In this report, the concept and methodology of the image database named Gallery are reported. The keynotes are how one establishes remote access of image handling software to analyze common source binary images in the database. The authors have developed software which was written with Visual Basic and JAVA. The system, which has included more than 20000 binary images, has been tested for its feasibleness from remote sites.
