A telemedicine system for enabling teaching activities.

In order to improve the distance teaching of minimally invasive surgery techniques, an integrated system has been developed. It comprises a telecommunications system, a server, a workstation, some medical peripherals and several computer applications developed in the Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre. The latest peripherals, such as robotized teleoperating systems for telesurgery and virtual reality peripherals, have been added. The visualization of the zone to be treated, along with the teacher's explanations, enables the student to understand the procedures of the operation much better.

An integrated system of telemedicine for minimally invasive surgery.

We have developed a telemedicine project called Telesurgex, which is an integrated information system designed for several hospitals as well as the Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre. The project researches and develops telemedicine systems (both hardware and software) and their contents, ensuring that they are really useful and not just a videoconference with medical topics. Another aim of the project is the improvement of teleteaching systems as applied to medicine, mainly teleteaching of minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Telereconstruction from computerized tomography images for the distance teaching of medicine.

A system for making remote two- and three-dimensional reconstructions from computerized tomography images has been developed in order to improve medical teleteaching. It allows the automatic two- and three-dimensional remote visualization of the anatomical structure of interest. As a part of this system, software has been developed which allows many visual operations or transformations on a remote three-dimensional model. It permits the remote workstation and the local workstation to visualize every transformation simultaneously. It allows a doctor to interact virtually and remotely with the anatomical structure. The software enables examination of the anatomical model from all angles, even from inside (including planar and three-dimensional presentations).

Image processing from computerized tomography images: virtual reconstruction for telediagnosis.

We have developed a system for remote three-dimensional reconstruction, which facilitates telediagnosis. The telereconstruction system is based on a computerized tomography (CT) scanner, a workstation connected to the CT scanner, a PC, which can be geographically far away from the workstation, and a computer program that we have developed. The workstation allows CT images to be stored and image processing to be carried out. The PC permits the user to control the workstation in making a three-dimensional reconstruction and allows the remote user to see that reconstruction. From the PC various graphical operations can be performed on the three-dimensional model, such as rotations, translations and cuts through the model. The program therefore allows a remote user to have three-dimensional images and to study them by means of all the options the program provides.
