In this paper, we introduce an implementation and a design for a
histopathological image conference system based on WEB enviroment and using an
object oriented distribution technology, i.e. Common Object Request Broker
Architecture(CORBA). Being independent of platform and applicable for many
different developing languages, this CORBA-based Medical Image Conference
System is very powerful for system development, extension and maintenance.
We designed an advanced WEB client that could open a conference by using an
applet. We also used Java language for being independent of different
platforms and object-oriented, it has an advantage of free usage wherever
there is a WEB browser. Since applet was downloaded, all communications were
done CORBA IIOP(Internet Inter-ORB protocol). Netscape Enterprise Server
consists of three object modules, i.e. Conference Manager(CM), Object
Manager(OM) and Image Processing(IP). The Security of applet was used
and the capability of API to send images between clients. The image
processing object of the server-side is implemented in C++ in order to
increase processing speed. The conference participants can exchange their
opinions through both chatting and whiteboard. The results of response
time using an image (640X480 pixels) are that from client to to CM is 79.90 ms,
from CM TO OM is 40.05 ms and OM to IP is 14.00 ms. The Network is
10MBPS on LAN environment and PCs are Pentium II(300 MHZ). By using the
proposed system, it is possible to open conference for the patient's
histopathological images easily by communicating between the hospitals on
networks.
