Video-based telemedicine with reliable color: field experiments of natural vision technology

Abstract

High-fidelity color imaging technology that incorporates spectrum-based color reproduction system, called "natural vision" (NV) is applied to the field experiment of telemedicine. The experiment comprises mainly two parts; 1) High-fidelity color video of open surgery was captured by the six-band multispectral camera, and the image quality was visually evaluated by medical doctors, 2) Video-based teleconsultation experiment between a regional general hospital and a clinic in an island near the hospital, was conducted with using the natural vision system.
