MILORD: Multi-media Interaction with Large Object-oriented Radiological and clinical Databases

The MILORD project concerns the storage, communication, and processing of large multi-media clinical information in an integrated environment. Advanced information technologies are exploited: new knowledge representation languages and tools, friendly human-computer interaction, 3D graphical processing and displaying of medical images, high performance parallel architectures, large-scale distributed data storage, federated environments for clinical cooperation. The project is developing an environment for designing and handling medical workstations. New turn-key marketable systems are expected after the end of the project. From its first version, the system is installed and under evaluation in large hospitals.
