Medical image analysis using mobile devices

Bruno Souza Pinto Marques Correa, Edison Ishikawa, Artur Ziviani, Marcelo Daniel Brito Faria · 2008

Mobile devices are increasingly being incorporated onto Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). Previous work on medical image access using mobile devices essentially focuses on enabling the visualization of the medical images at the mobile devices. In contrast, we propose and develop a distributed system that allows medical image analysis using mobile devices. As a proof-of-concept, based on our distributed system, we develop a tool for dental implant simulation using mobile devices. We also discuss the perspectives of extending the current system to incorporate Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) algorithms in it.
