چکیده
| The Next Generation Internet (NGI) has been touted by both academic and industry as the conduit to new capabilities in health care, health education and health services by linking hospitals, clinics , practitioners' ooces, health professional specialists and universities. This paper introduces a web based telemedicine project, SWEAT, which is under development at Cairo University, Faculty of Engineering , Systems and Biomedical Engineering Department. Teleradiology and teleconsultation are the focus of SWEAT in its phase I. SWEAT is considered an information , consultation and decision support system. The approach presented makes use of client-server architecture based on the new technology of the internet where clients use an ordinary web browser to view, send, receive and give/receive consultation on the pa-tient's medical record while the server is responsible for all data ow. The SWEAT viewing station for radiological images provides a fast response for the primary image processing utilities. SWEAT supports the DICOM standard as well as other industrial image formats, such as GIF, to enable clients to view patients' images while working with DICOM or non-DICOM workstations. In cooperation with the Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP) Lab, University of Louisville, Ken-tucky, the aim of SWEAT in its phase II is to increase bandwidth capabilities to access remote resources and to make use of home-developed software for 3D visu-alization, surgery simulation and data analysis from diagnostic imaging modalities.

Web-based Home Telemedicine System for Orthopaedics
Traditionally, telemedicine systems have been designed to improve access to care by allowing physicians to consult a specialist about a case without sending the patient to another location, which may be difficult or time-consuming to reach. The cost of the equipment and network bandwidth needed for this consultation has restricted telemedicine use to contact between physicians instead of betwee...
