Summary
The availability of the public broadband telecommunication network from the Deutsche Bundespost Telekom based on the already existing interim fibre optic broadband network allows data transmission at rates of up to 2 MBit/s simultaneously with videoconferencing (140 MBit/s). We aimed two goals:
-
1.
Realization of a point to point auto-dialing connection of the two Nuclear Medicine LAN’s (Ethernet) in Bonn and Ulm. This LAN connection allows digital interuniversity image distribution in real time in order to collect well documented clinical demonstration cases in the digital archives maintained in Ulm. A catalog comprising scintigraphic images from all fields of diagnostic nuclar medicine is beeing build by means of the large storage capacity provided by a jukebox with optical disks allowing direct access for updating as well as for demonstration and teaching.
-
2.
Development and testing of broad band telecommunicaton protocols for interuniversity conferences of clinical case presentation by means of a direct link of scintigraphic workstations simultaneously with videoconferencing.
Obviously clinical efficiency can be improved and new possibilities are offered for nuclear medicine research, for the education (training) of physicians and for the support of the reporting process providing reference cases by means of the broad band telecommunication posibilities.
