Abstract
Systems for the processing and representation of cranial computed tomograms have become a significant addition to the use of computers in medicine, particularly radiology. This paper tries to outline a global view on some of the important technical capabilities such systems can provide using techniques from Picture Processing, Image Analysis and Computer Graphics. Experimental results of the COMPACT Project are presented wherever appropriate. Further thought is also given to the framework in which CT processing may take place. To ensure clinical efficacy a concept of a Medical Work Station as part of a distributed computing network is discussed. Some consideration is then given to the physicians possible working modes within such a system.Keywords
