Telemedicine covers a wide range of medical information which includes text, numeric, image and voice data. It is natural to apply multimedia and communication technology to telemedicine. In this paper, early experiments toward establishing high quality image-oriented telemedicine and HDTV/SHD and B-ISDN/CS technology are installed and evaluated. Some obstacles for the deployment of the telemedicine are also described.
