Distributed Object Medical Imaging Model
Digital medical informatics and images are commonly used in hospitals today. Because of the interrelatedness of the
radiology department and other departments, especially the
intensive care unit and emergency department, the transmission
and sharing of medical images has become a critical issue.
Our research group has developed a Java-based Distributed
Object Medical Imaging Model(DOMIM) to facilitate the rapid
development and deployment of medical imaging applications in
a distributed environment that can be shared and used by related
departments and mobile physiciansDOMIM is a unique suite of
multimedia telemedicine applications developed for the use by
medical related organizations. The applications support realtime
patients' data, image files, audio and video diagnosis
annotation exchanges. The DOMIM enables joint collaboration
between radiologists and physicians while they are at distant
geographical locations. The DOMIM environment consists of
heterogeneous, autonomous, and legacy resources. The
Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Java
Database Connectivity (JDBC), and Java language provide the
capability to combine the DOMIM resources into an integrated,
interoperable, and scalable system. The underneath technology,
including IDL ORB, Event Service, IIOP JDBC/ODBC, legacy
system wrapping and Java implementation are explored. This
paper explores a distributed collaborative CORBA/JDBC based
framework that will enhance medical information management
requirements and development. It encompasses a new paradigm
for the delivery of health services that requires process
reengineering, cultural changes, as well as organizational
changes.
