[A design of ultrasonic tele-diagnosis and quality control system]

Objective. To study the method for constructing an ultrasonic tele-diagnosis and quality control system. Method. The standard of Intemet/Intranet technology was used for the system. The compression and up-loading component based on wavelet and the software platform of ultrasound image processing were developed to suit the ultrasound image characteristics. The information exchange and storage (DICOM) was studied for the compatibility between the system and the Hospital Information System (HIS). Both of them were combined to form an integrated system. Result. WWW server, relevant case history managing and image processing software were constructed in the system. Conclusion. It is feasible to establish a low cost and maintainable system for ultrasound tele-diagnosis and quality control system based on Internet/Intranet technology.
