Transforming Dermatologic Imaging for the Digital Era: Metadata and Standards

Abstract: Imaging is increasingly being used in dermatology for documentation, diagnosis, and management of cutaneous disease. The lack of standards for dermatologic imaging is an impediment to clinical uptake. Standardization can occur in image acquisition, terminology, interoperability, and metadata. This paper presents the International Skin Imaging Collaboration position on standardization of metadata for dermatologic imaging. Metadata is essential to ensure that dermatologic images are properly managed and interpreted. There are two standards-based approaches to recording and storing metadata in dermatologic imaging. The first uses standard consumer image file formats, and the second is the file format and metadata model developed for the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard. DICOM would appear to provide an advantage over using consumer image file formats for metadata as it includes all the patient, study, and technical metadata necessary to use images clinically. Whereas, consumer image file formats only include technical metadata and need to be used in conjunction with another actor-for example, an electronic medical record-to supply the patient and study metadata. The use of DICOM may have some ancillary benefits in dermatologic imaging including leveraging DICOM network and workflow services, interoperability of images and metadata, leveraging existing enterprise imaging infrastructure, greater patient safety, and better compliance to legislative requirements for image retention.

Wireless communication terminal for changing image files of background picture and method for displaying image files of background picture using the same

Abstract: Portable communication terminal and a method for displaying image files of a background picture using the same. The portable communication terminal comprises a mode setting unit for setting a background picture display mode in response to an input signal to selectively display displayable image files on a screen when a desired part mounted to a body of the terminal is operated, a storage unit for storing the image files and the display mode set by the mode setting unit, a sensor for sensing an operation signal generated when the desired part is operated, a mode discriminator for detecting and discriminating the background picture display mode stored in the storage unit if the sensor senses the operation signal, a controller for detecting at least one image file to be displayed on the screen from among the image files stored in the storage unit in response to the display mode discrimination result from the mode discriminator, and a display unit for displaying the image file detected by the controller as a background picture on the screen under control of the controller.

Methods and devices for image and digital rights management

Abstract: Described herein is an image capturing device such as a mobile communication device and methods for capturing and transmitting digital rights data. The methods include capturing ( 502 ) an image to generate a data and/or an image file, capturing ( 504 ) a pointer to digital rights information data embedded in a signal of a digital tag substantially synchronously with capturing the image. Then processing ( 506 ) the pointer to digital rights information data of the digital tag to associate the pointer with the data file to generate a combined file. Receiving ( 508 ) rights associated with the digital tag and associating the rights with the captured image.

Contents conversion system for portable terminal and contents conversion method

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein when a Web page for a PC is displayed by a portable terminal, a screen for the PC can't be displayed correctly as it is by the portable terminal due to a small screen size of the portable terminal, operation of a cursor key, and a difference in markup language and image display format between the services. SOLUTION: Information in HTML language downloaded from a Web site is converted to XHTMLBasic format by an HTML converting part 14, and the information converted into the XHTMLBasic format by a document generating part 15 is converted into contents for the portable terminal by a predetermined conversion rule description file, the image format and image size of the image data are converted for the portable terminal by an image conversion part 16, and further the contents are divided into parts of size corresponding to the screen of the portable terminal 21a by a page dividing part 18.

Video-file based citation generation system for traffic light violations

Abstract: A system for generating a traffic violation citation, which operates using at least one image data file including digitized video data. The image data file includes multiple images of an intersection during a red light violation. The image data file is, for example, derived from the output of one or more video cameras positioned to record respective views of an intersection being monitored for red light violations. The disclosed system provides a user with an interface including at least one image display window. The image display window is used to display portions of the image data file. Where the image data file includes multiple video clips, such clips may be displayed simultaneously in respective ones of multiple display windows. The system further includes a selection interface that permits a user to select at least one image from the image data file, for example a current image being displayed in an image display window. The system generates a citation associated with the traffic violation, including a copy of the selected image.
