A colorimetric characterization of the raw digital data of the Visible Human Dataset images.

A colorimetric characterization of the all about 9 thousand Visible Human Dataset (VHD) cryosectioned color images of the male and female body is described here. Such characterization is performed keeping limited the computational time besides the high resolution of the considered VHD images. The about 27 thousand distinct histograms obtained are downloadable from the VHD Milano Mirror Site ftp server.

Italian telematics initiatives and achievements.

Depending on their legislation, the European countries have different telematics initiatives and different scenarios. Cultural roots cause differences even within a country or a region, and different organisational structures can cause further problems. With regard to the Italian telematics approach, the author intends to explain the basis and the main achievements in Italy and especially in the Lombaria region.

User-oriented views in health care information systems.

In this paper, we present the methodology we adopted in designing and developing an object-oriented database system for the management of medical records. The designed system provides technical solutions to important requirements of most clinical information systems, such as 1) the support of tools to create and manage views on data and view schemas, offering to different users specific perspectives on data tailored to their needs; 2) the capability to handle in a suitable way the temporal aspects related to clinical information; and 3) the effective integration of multimedia data. Remote data access for authorized users is also considered. As clinical application, we describe here the prototype of a user-oriented clinical information system for the archiving and the management of multimedia and temporally oriented clinical data related to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) patients. Suitable view schemas for various user roles (cath-lab physician, ward nurse, general practitioner) have been modeled and implemented on the basis of a detailed analysis of the considered clinical environment, carried out by an object-oriented approach.
