Interactive segmentation and visualization system for medical images on mobile devices

摘要

Ubiquitous computing is an important technology in medicine that is predicted to support doctors anywhere and anytime. To help achieve it, this paper develops the Interactive Segmentation and Visualization System for Medical images on Mobile devices (ISVS_M~(2)), which originally was designed to work on workstations, but also works on a wide range of mobile devices via a mobile client-server platform. The developed ISVS_M~(2) basically consists of three modules: asegmentation module that is implemented on a server; commutation modules on both the server and mobile device; and interactive and visualization modules on the mobile device that not only give visualization of internal information of an organ model, but also interactively refine organ segmentation according to user experience. With interaction via a computer graphic interface on the mobile device, and communication via the mobile client-server platform, ISVS_M~(2) offers users a novel and efficient approach to computer-aided medicine.
