EUROMED-visualisation suites for medical imaging

Abstract
EUROMED is a European Commission funded three year project beginning with phase I in January 1996. The overall aim of EUROMED is to collaboratively exploit, combine and support HPCN activities to enhance and standardise visualisation techniques to be used in telemedicine applications. Firstly, EUROMED will create a hierarchical telemedicine network throughout Europe and Ex-Soviet Union countries linking isolated medical sites with specialised clinics and HPCN centres. Secondly, EUROMED will develop a hierarchical telemedical visualisation suite of packages incorporating, superimposing and enhancing presently used image modalities such as CT, MRI, Angiography, PET and SPECT and newer techniques such as Ultrasound diffraction tomography
