The demand for wireless technologies has been absolutely exploding. In the 1980s, many analog cellular networks were implemented. These networks are already reaching capacity limits in some service areas. Several digital technologies were introduced to increase spectral efficiency and enhance wireless communications by adding features and services such as facsimile and data transmission and new call handling features. In other words, wireless communication technology has evolved from first generation analog systems for business applications to second generation digital systems with rich features and services for residential and business applications. As the turn of the century approaches, a new vision of ubiquitous personal communication systems starts to emerge. For the new century, many new wireless communication services and capabilities using the wideband CDMA technology are being defined by the industry worldwide. Specifically, the specifications for the future global wireless access system, the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) are currently being developed within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). With the higher data transmission speed and the new services such as simultaneous voice and data, multimedia and location services, applications of the new wireless technologies to the biomedical field become practical in the near future. The paper describes several such potential applications.","PeriodicalId":126564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine, ITAB '98 (Cat.

Among the different existing algorithms, Kohonen's self organizing feature map (SOFM) is one of the well known methods for VQ. It allows efficient codebook design with interesting topological properties. Furthermore, use of VQ for compression gives, in the same process, basic information on the image content. But in order to preserve the diagnostic accuracy in medical applications, the block size is restricted to small values (3/spl times/3, 4/spl times/4), which limits the compression rate. We propose to improve the compression performance by using several codebooks containing codewords of different size, according to the quadtree decomposition of the images. Results are compared to those provided by the standard JPEG image compression algorithm. Finally we explain how it is possible to generate characteristic signature maps of images using compression information. The paper represents an extension of the work presented by G. Cauguel et al. (1997).","PeriodicalId":126564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine, ITAB '98 (Cat.

Thomas, 1991). A digital imaging network that eliminates the use of X-ray film makes military medicine requirements simpler. X-ray film requirements include storage of new, unexposed films, storage and use of chemicals and water for processing, and disposal of chemicals. In some deployed situations, the chemical discharge needs to be collected and shipped out of the area. Therefore, the ability to implement electronic imaging, and eliminate or greatly reduce the dependence on film, chemicals, and water are intrinsically important to military medicine. In December 1995, the US government began deployment of 20000 US troops to Bosnia-Herzegovina as a part of NATO's peace keeping implementation force (IFOR) operation. A full complement of military medical support facilities was established in Bosnia. An army base in Hungary was the location from which the deployment was staged. The project to deploy telemedicine and teleradiology capabilities to the medical treatment facilities (MTF) in Bosnia and Hungary became known as PrimeTime III. The paper deals with the deployable teleradiology (DEPRAD) system that was installed by the ISIS Center at a number of facilities to implement filmless radiology and teleradiology services in support of PrimeTime III.","PeriodicalId":126564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine, ITAB '98 (Cat.

Ambulance personnel, who usually are the first to handle emergency situations, do not have the required theoretical knowledge and experience. Financial and practical reasons do not allow the participation of specialized physicians on ambulance vehicles. Within the framework of the health telematics programme, we have developed a portable medical device that allows telediagnosis, long distance support and teleconsultation of mobile health care providers by specialized physicians. The device allows the transmission of vital biosignals and still images of the patient from the incident place to the hospital. The transmission is performed through the GSM mobile telephony network. The device can telematically \"bring\" a specialist doctor to the site of the medical emergency, allow him to evaluate patient data and issue directions to the emergency personnel on treatment procedures until the patient is brought to hospital. Due to the need for storing and archiving data being interchanged during the telemedicine sessions, we have equipped the consultation site with a multimedia database able to store and manage the data collected by the \"AMBULANCE\" system. The performance of the system has been validated in four different countries using a controlled medical protocol.","PeriodicalId":126564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine, ITAB '98 (Cat.
