This paper proposes a new service element (SE) of the OSI presentation layer, that contains functions for multimode medical images manipulation. The order of the image data compression and processing is determined within each mode on the basis of the reduction of total response time of the conferencing system, as well as the amount of transferred data through the underlying network. The introduction of the SE functions within the communication function stack of a conferencing medical system enhances the total performance of the conferencing entities (e.g., workstations, databases, modalities).
