The image related services of the HELIOS software engineering environment.

This paper describes the approach of the European HELIOS project to integrate image processing tools into ward information systems. The image processing tools are the result of the basic research in image analysis in the Department Medical and Biological Informatics at the German Cancer Research Center. These tools for the analysis of two-dimensional images and three-dimensional data volumes with 3D reconstruction and visualization ae part of the Image Related Services of HELIOS. The HELIOS software engineering environment allows to use the image processing functionality in integrated applications.

ARTEMIS-2: an application development experiment with the HELIOS environment.

A medical application is a highly complex system that embraces many data types and a very large number of data processing functions and methods. The development of integrated software engineering environments has deeply changed the conception of applications and the profile of the application developers. In this paper, we address the problem of the development process of a specific multimedia application, called ARTEMIS, within the distributed HELIOS environment. The application is intended to manage information about hypertensive patients, in particular, retrieval and display of administrative, clinical and biological data and display and analysis of digital angiography images and medical reports. The objective is to show how the developer can use, customize and organize the services HELIOS provides. A particular focus is set on reuse strategies and integration during the development process. A scenario has been realized and illustrates the current state of the application. The discussion focuses on the advantages of such distributed environments in medical application development.

The HELIOS Image Related Services.

The HELIOS Software Engineering Environment is a tool for the construction of medical ward information systems. This paper describes the image processing tools which are a part of this system. The Image Related Services can be used both as ready-to-use end-user tools and as software modules for the construction of integrated multimedia applications. The tasks and architecture of the end-user tools and their integration into the HELIOS architecture are described. It is shown how the available image processing functionality can be used to build up new applications.
