TLDR
A telemedicine prototype is presented, each of its components discussed, and a potential future teleMedicine system is shown.
Abstract
Telemedicine is much more than just teleconferencing. ISDN could be used in some low-end applications, but many telemedicine applications will require the higher bandwidth and guaranteed qualities of service supported by ATM. We discuss the design of multimedia systems for telemedicine. First, various applications of telemedicine are presented, and their multimedia and communications requirements are discussed. A telemedicine prototype is then presented, each of its components discussed, and a potential future telemedicine system is shown.

Data compression: effect on diagnostic accuracy in digital chest radiography.

TL;DR: A form of adaptive block cosine transform coding is evaluated, a new compression technique that allows considerable compression of digital radiographs with minimal degradation of image quality, and suggests that compression ratios as high as 25:1 may be acceptable for primary diagnosis in chest radiology.
